Cygwin / X / GNU Emacs 24.3.1 were all working normally when I left. I left the computer powered on while I was away. No software was updated on the computer during that time, though I am running the BOINC software for World Community Grid. Computer is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I left a couple of xterm windows open before I left, because there was some work I wanted to be reminded of when I got home. Upon arriving home last night, I tried to fire up Emacs, but now it's not working. It either says "memory exhausted" or just hangs. I rebooted, nothing changed. I started "ash" and ran "rebaseall -v". Still, nothing changed. This is not the first time that Emacs has died. The only way to fix the problem is to completely re-install Cygwin from scratch. Is there *any* way to try to figure out what is causing this? -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
