A long time ago I fixed this bug, but I'm at a complete loss to remember
what it was or what needed hacking... someone?
Just recently I built emacs-18.55 from scratch using the patches found on
apple.com. (built under A/UX v2) I found the same bug that used to plague
emacs under earlier versions of A/UX (1.0/1.1) and that is that it seems
to have problems communicating with subprocesses. I think it's probably
a broken understanding of the PTY driver, but has anyone already identified
and fixed this bug?
example of bug:
M-x shell
does not work. You never get a prompt, input never seems to make it to
the shell. The shell process DOES start up, but it's controlling tty is
"?" rather than a pty.
