It's a well known fact that all software (and web sites) have bugs.


We also have software developers who can provide patches to remove bugs.

Re: emacs-nox hogs CPU if backgrounded during compile

The following STC causes emacs-nox to peg a CPU indefinitely. Emacs
remains responsive, but C-c C-k doesn't kill the compile; you have to
exit emacs to remove the "Compiling" status. Killing the buffer or
starting a new compile offers to kill the offending process, but doesn't.

Attaching gdb shows an endless loop inside
kernelbase.dll!RaiseException, but provides no other clues that I could see.

I don't know if this trick works on 64-bit Cygwin or not but you could try:

set $rsp=$rbp
bt

And, if you get something sensible try it on every thread.

(gdb) p $rbp
$5 = (void *) 0x16

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Unicode text editor MinEd 2013.23

[Thomas Wolff]

MinEd 2013.23
(August 2013)


Major enhancements in this release:

Editing:
* New double-click feature for word selection.
* Tweaks on smart editing features (undent, wrap, identifier search etc).

Filename handling:
* Suppressing backup file names as generated by command line 
  auto-completion if they appear after their base version name 
  (x~, x;N, x.~N~), so that, e.g., mined x* edits x and x1 but not x~.

Character information:
* Updated to Unicode 6.2.

Interworking:
* Speed-up of directory browsing, especially on slow network drives.
* Ported to Windows 7 (installer), MSYS, Raspberry Pi, Irix.

Bug fixes:
* Explicit tab width option (-4/-8) takes precedence over file info memory.
* Fix 'screen' Unicode display by limiting previous workaround to older version.
* Fixed Alt-digit accent prefix functions for mintty and rxvt (since 2012.20).
* Fixes related to NUL or NONE pseudo lineends.




Mined is a powerful text editor with a comprehensive yet concise and 
easy-to-use user interface supporting modern interaction paradigms, 
and fast, small-footprint behaviour.

Mined provides both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering many 
specific features and covering special cases that other editors 
are not aware of (like auto-detection features and automatic handling 
of terminal variations, or Han character information).

Mined supports full mouse control and menu system in plain-text terminals 
(and it was the first editor supporting Unicode in xterm).

Mined offers a full set of text and file management features, like 
data loss prevention (
using backup, recovery files, and file locking 
interoperable with other editors, and file change monitoring), 
an interactive file chooser, and 
an interactive file switcher.

Basically, mined is an editor tailored to reliable and efficient 
editing of plain text documents and programs, with comfortable 
features and intuitive interactive behaviour designed for this purpose.




To install mined on cygwin, run the cygwin setup program, 
in the "Select Packages" menu, open the "Editors" category and 
select the mined package.

More information (with screenshots, feature overview and change log) 
and download are available from the mined web site at


Mined is co-hosted at sourceforge and has a mailing list 
which can be subscribed at

It's a well known fact that all software (and web sites) have bugs.


In this case, I think it's not the figurative meaning, but a little more 
"literal", well, at least in the visual sense.  :-)


Examine the source html for that url and you will find the following 
embedded in it:


This is the home of the Cygwin project   src="insectod4.gif">


Someone embedded "insectod4.gif" which appears to be an animated gif of a 
bug going in a figure 8.  Quite funny, actually.
