Package: emacs21
Version: 21.2-1
Severity: normal
I am able to cause the system load to go up to 100% by running a few
commands(ls, pwd) in ansi-term. This seems to only happen
with bash. A change that was made between version 21.1-7 and 21.2-1
seems to have caused this bug; 21.1-7 works fine, and different versions
of bash dont seem to matter. The kernels I am trying it on vary, but all
are 2.4.x. When I strace the process, I see the following over and over
stat64("/home/paulv", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0
access("/home/paulv/", X_OK) = 0
stat64("/home/paulv", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0
access("/home/paulv/", X_OK) = 0

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved in due time.
emacs21 packages have been removed from testing in 2009 [1], not
present even in the current stable. Consequently, these bugs are now
orphan (without maintainer assigned) so they probably will not be
attended/noticed further.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs21.html
The bugs deemed valid are going to be verified and reassigned, but the
current bugs that I'm closing now are very ancient (more than 10 years
sometimes) and marked as unreproducible years ago. Please comment if
you want think that some of the raised questions are still pending and
need to be addressed differently (e.g., reassigned to other packages,
etc.).
Cheers.
