Are you invoking emacs in its own X window, or embedded within the same console where the shell was (in which case, which console are you using)? Also, I have noticed times where emacs hangs on exit, or unexpectedly core dumps. The last emacs package maintainer has gone missing in action, so I have been trying to update emacs against a more recent cygwin dll, but have not had success so far. Because the build is rather old, and because emacs does some strange things with memory, it is a rather sensitive to changes in the cygwin dll. > > I have tried both the stable 21.2 and experimental 21.3 versions, with > the same results on both.
