Re: Latest emacs snapshots max CPU on XP

[Chris McMahan]

Thanks for the idea, but that didn't seem to have an effect. I'm
thinking that maybe there was an imcompatiblity between the gnuclient
application I was using to launch it and the newer emacs. When I
launch emacs from the runemacs.exe application directly, I don't see
that problem.

I still haven't tracked it down, but it might be related
to attempting to read in from sockets for the gnuserv (a wild guess on
my part :)
