23.0.60; OSX: Complete OS crash |
Date: |
Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:58:48 +0200 (CEST) |
Let open7.el consist of the form:
(let ((n 0))
(while t
(setq n (1+ n))
(message "iteration: %s" n)
(delete-process (start-process "bc" nil "bc"))))
When I do:
$ emacs -Q --script open7.el
The whole OS crashes within about 500 iterations, and a gray box is
displayed stating that I must restart the computer. A shell script
that continuously starts and kills bc runs for long without problem:
while true
do
bc &
killall -9 bc
done
