Dear Tru64 Managers,
Recently emacs has started behaving very strangely on on of our Tru64
systems. The first time you modify a non-scratch buffer a long hang takes
place during which emacs uses 40 to 50 seconds of CPU time. After that
emacs behaves normally, even if you visit new files.
The hang takes place when you change the memory copy of the file, not when
you save the file. So for example,
$ emacs myfile
move cursor to place of interest
insert a character
LONG WAIT
everything normal
We are running Tru64 4.0E patch kit 4 and GNU Emacs 20.4.2 (compiled from
source).
Does anyone have any ideas on what might cause this problem, or how to go
about diagnosing it?
Thanks,
Bob
