| Doc Text: |
Emacs did not properly terminate if it was started remotely and the remote client session was closed while Emacs was suspended. Under these conditions, Emacs entered an infinite loop in the code and gradually consumed all available computer resources, which caused the system to become unstable. With this update, Emacs has been modified, and it now terminates correctly when the remote session is closed.
