/usr/bin/ee takes full cpu time when you kill the shell on which ee was started Fix: Don't know... How-To-Repeat: on shell 1: ee some-file on shell 2: kill -9 'pid-of-shell1' top you will see the ee process from shell 1 going to the top of top ;)

Mahon <hmahon@uswest.net>. We can then update our source from the authors source. Mike -- Mike Heffner <mheffner@[acm.]vt.edu> Fredericksburg, VA <mikeh@FreeBSD.org>
hugh has fixed the problem. the new source is available under http://mahon.cwx.net/temporary/ee-1.4.4.src.tgz --- mail start: Hello Oliver, Thank you for letting me know about this. I've added some code to check for the parent process going away. Seems like things should be easier than this but I don't know off the top of my head. I have put the version with changes to address the defect in: http://mahon.cwx.net/temporary/ee-1.4.4.src.tgz Please give this version a try and see if it solves the problem. (I was able to reproduce the defect on Linux, but don't have a FreeBSD system set up with which to verify the fix.) Once you let me know that this works I'll move it to the regular location for sources, and also make similar changes to aee. (And if you tell me it doesn't work it'll be back to the drawing board :-( ). ---- mail end I've tested it on my system at it worked Greetings Olli
State Changed From-To: open->closed Dup of 29553 which is fixed in -current and -stable. It still might make sense to update to ee-1.4.4 but the committed fix was simple.
