address@hidden: Emacs bug with Solaris 9 (only)]

[Markus Rost]

I have no time to debug this.

However, let me at least confirm that I experience since a while
exactly the same problem on Solaris 9.  I don't remember whether the
problem was not present on Solaris 8, and I cannot test this anymore,
but this is entirely possible.

Actually it is annoying:  You come to kill the buffer *shell* in order
to kill a subprocess...

Precise Example:  Call M-x shell.  Then in the shell start a
subprocess like xterm or emacs.  Then C-c C-c (which runs the command
comint-interrupt-subjob) does not kill the subprocess.  Nor does
<menu-bar> <signals> <kill> (which runs the command
comint-kill-subjob).


   In case anyone here can fix it...

   In short: quit-process, stop-process, get-process etc.
   do not work when emacs is executed (and compiled) in
   Solaris 9, but work just fine when the same compiled
   code is scp-ed to a Solaris 8 machine.

   Because of some <unknown to me> differences between
   Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 the error I described occurs.
   Any ideas? I saw a post of a similar message, but did
   not see any answers to it.

   I noticed this problem, when in tex mode, I could not kill
   my buffer.
