A fix (really, workaround) is incorporated in emacs version 16.60, but the screen still gets garbaged a little bit, but a redisplay will fix it. To actually fix it requires modifying stdio, which requires source license. I can help out the extra bit if you have source. It is a race conditioin between child process signals and a write(), which makes it hard to repeat. We got it a lot with large screen terminals (more write()'s so more to be hit). /jr -------- /* End of text from haddock:mail */
