The problem is this, the time & load is displayed normally, then I spawn a subshell (isn't System V wonderful...), when I return... the time portion of the time & load string has several extra numbers preceding the real time & load string. Of course this all goes away as soon as Emacs updates the modeline, but for a minute or so it is grossly incorrect. Anyone else seen this one. Oh... BTW this is version 18.36 emacs.. (obviously under System V..) -- ron@vsedev.VSE.COM (Ron Flax) UUCP: ..!seismo!vsedev!ron INET: vsedev.VSE.COM!ron@seismo.CSS.GOV
