So then I looked at my .emacs file, and I noticed the following. Note
that this is another block of code that I haven't changed in many
years. I know that several of these lines are obsolete now, even some
that aren't causing my problem:
------------------
(defun my-shell-mode-hook ()
;(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
; 'shell-strip-ctrl-m nil t)
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
'comint-watch-for-password-prompt nil t)
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "bash")
;; For subprocesses invoked via the shell
;; (e.g., "shell -c command")
(setq shell-file-name explicit-shell-file-name)
(ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)
(shell-strip-ctrl-m)
(setq shell-prompt-pattern "^\[[A-z0-9]+:[A-z0-9/]+\] ")
(local-set-key "\C-xs" 'cycle-go-shell)
(local-set-key "\C-xS" 'cycle-find-shell-or-shells-buffer-list)
(local-set-key "\C-j" 'lfd-send-input)
(local-set-key [f5] 'comint-previous-matching-input-from-input)
(local-set-key [f12] 'compilation-shell-minor-mode)
)
-----------------
For most of this, I can't even remember what it was for. I tried
commenting out portions of this and retesting, and I finally narrowed
it down to the two sets of the related "file-name" variables. When I
comment both of those out and retest, the problem doesn't occur. I
see that the new value of "shell-file-name" is "/bin/bash", instead of
the "bash" value that I was hardcoding before. Certainly less code is
better than more code, especially if it works, but it would be useful
to understand if something changed recently that might have caused
that error.
Sorry, but I have no idea. I'm not aware of anything that's changed in
Emacs that would explain this.
I also briefly examined some of these other blocks, and I see that
apparently "shell-strip-ctrl-m" is obsolete. Is it best to have this?:
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
'comint-strip-ctrl-m nil t)
I don't know of any reason you would need that. I've never done
anything like that myself.
