Re: emacs hangs when a sub-process goes defunct

When you say the buffer is tied to an svn repository, do you mean you're using emacs as your commit editor as in the following report?

If so, it's a bug in emacs-24.2 that has been fixed upstream for emacs-24.3. If not, more details would be helpful.

If possible, please give a recipe for producing the problem, starting with 'emacs -Q'. Also, say whether you're running emacs in a terminal or under X. Finally, please attach cygcheck output as requested here:
