I have same experience with Cygwin 1.5.5
I updated my Cygwin to 1.5.5 and XEmacs became
unusable. Cygwin 1.3.20 works OK. XEmacs I am using is
21.5.5, but this must be a Cygwin bug because I only
ungraded Cygwin.
The problem starts when I run a subprocess from
XEmacs. Good example is gnuserv. This is not a gnuserv
related bug because clearcase.el also wrecks XEmacs,
which also runs subprocesses.
Having run a subprocess, XEmacs screen failed to get
updated,
characters dissappear.
I found a thread on an XEmacs mailing list which
describes the same
problem. There is a hint on this thread about the root
cause:
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200309/msg00312.html
I tried and recompiled the very same XEmacs version I
mentioned above,
but it did not help. I compiled some more recent beta
and normal XEmacs versions, but they all suffer from
this problem.
Many thanks to the good soul who could fix this bug. I
am happy assist you in testing it.
Triza
