Hi,

I use shell-mode in xemacs with cygwin.  This works great on a unix 
system, but with the cygwin version, xemacs sometimes goes crazy and 
takes 100% of the CPU and I often have to kill xemacs.  I think it's 
related to shell-mode because sometimes when I kill a shell-mode window, 
the CPU usage goes back to normal.

This just happened to me again and when I try to exec another process 
from xemacs itself, I get the following error:

Doing fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

However, in my other shell-mode buffer where I'm running bash, I can 
fork a new process such as run "ls".

Anyone else see this or have suggestions on how to debug it?

-Edwin
