Re: Regular urxvt hangs, Emacs crashes



That sounds exactly like the well known and frequently reported kernel bug I mentioned below... it's not specific to X11.

Well, this reminds me a X11 "crash" I had after applying the last update and forgot to report here. It required only a logout for the change to take effect, but after that X11 behaved in a strange way: windows not always responding, could not bring them to the foreground and an unusual menu showing up when left-clicking on them. I could quit but it ended up with two stuck xterm processes consuming each 100% of CPU time! Worse, X11 and Terminal.app could not launch anymore after repeated attempts, even after killing the xterm processes and logged in as an admin. It really scared me. I had to restart the system for this to settle down.

This was under 10.5.4 with all system updates applied.

I am using Window Maker and probably this is part of my problems, but sadly, from my experience, X11 on a Mac is not anymore what it used to be.

Is urxvt hanging on startup and consuming 100% cpu?  If so,
this is
probably because of a known kernel bug since 10.5.0.
