I think it should be reported against Emacs, since it's not a Good Thing for Emacs to let programs think they have a particular type of terminal on stdin/stdout when they in fact have nothing more than a pipe into an Emacs buffer. >For all I know, these could be configuration bugs in the Debian >packages or bugs in the upstream sources -- I supopse I will report >them to both Debian and the upstream maintainers. Is that the right >thing to do? Report to debian-bugs. It's supposed to be the package maintainers responsibility to forward them to the upstream maintainers. In fact I think the ange-ftp problem has been passed up to the FSF before, but they couldn't duplicate it (presumably because they didn't have such a nice ftp client as we do :-) so it got dropped. I only today figured out what the problem was. ttfn/rjk
