- When running Emacs 18.59 in shell mode on a SGI Indigo (IRIX version
- 4.0.5F), often (but not always) interactive programs executed from the
- subshell will not operate correctly. More specifically, prompts will
- not appear and a C-c C-d will exit the subshell instead of just
- exiting the program running under the subshell. Here is an example. A
- fresh Emacs was started, with no .emacs file. The following key
- sequence was pressed:
-
- M-x shell RET sh RET date C-c C-d
-
- The following appeared on the *shell* buffer
-
- sgiharrar:pereira$ sh
- date
- Mon Dec 14 18:40:17 EST 1992
- sgiharrar:pereira$
-
- Process shell finished
-
- The mode line showed "run" status for the subshell until the C-c C-d
- was typed, and afterwards "no process" status.
-
- When an Emacs invocation starts behaving this way, it seems to
- continue doing the same for subsequent subshells. When it does not,
- subshells behave normally. The problem occurs with any of "sh", "csh"
- and "ksh" as shell.
