I'm trying to use emacs (19.34-6) with gnu-win32. Everything seems to go O.K. except when I try to compile in a buffer. I set up emacs to use bash.exe as it's shell command. I can compile a program and get the errors put into a buffer exactly once. The second time I try to do this, I get an error and cygwin seems to get stuck (it keeps on sending me error messages until I kill it). The messages go like this: (unknown) In Cygwin_except_handler (unknown) Exception trapped! (unknown) Exception C0000005 at 10018910 (unknown) exception: ax 0 bx 3ED cx 91 dx 64 (unknown) exception: si 244FA28 di 0 bp 244FA3C sp 244FA18 (unknown) exception is: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (unknown) Stack trace: (unknown) frame 0: sp = 0x244F84C, pc = 0x1000CEC2 (unknown) frame 1: sp = 0x244F868, pc = 0x77F94512 ... and so on until it starts repeating .. .. .. (unknown) frame 9: sp=0x244FFF0, pc = 0x0 (unknown) End of stack trace (unknown) In cygwin_except_hander (unknown) Error while dumping state (probably corrupted stack) and so on repeating the last two lines. What gives? Can I use bash.exe as the shell for emacs? If so, how do I do it? Oh, I'm running Windows NT 4.0 spc3 thanks j. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
