Hello djgpp workers,


	I have always been able to build emacs under Win95. Now I have "upgraded"
to win95B and the emacs build process freezes right where 'make' invokes
'./temacs --batch -l loadup dump'. At that point it does not respond to
SIGINT (ctrl-c/break) and requires the dos box to be closed. However, that
command line can be run from a raw 'command.com' prompt with no problem.
Also, it freezes if run from a command.com that was spawned from within
emacs (i.e., suspend-emacs).
I am working on finding the location of the freeze (it is somewhere within
temacs (after main :) )- it doesn't freeze within make). 


P.S. It's possible that my windows installation is bad. Anybody
able to build emacs under win95b?
