Description Edgar Hoch 2022-08-30 23:03:20 UTC
Description of problem:
Package uim contains files for emacs in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/uim-el/ .

When uim is installed, and emacs is started, emacs does not respond to keyboard input or mouse klicks. There is a message in the message line (see below in buffer "*Messages*").

The computer gets slow, the fan of the desktop pc becomes louder, and when I check the processes with "ps -ef|grep emacs", then I get a list of processes like the following:

/usr/bin/emacs --batch -l /tmp/emacs-int-comp-subr--trampoline-63616c6c2d6c6173742d6b62642d6d6163726f_call_last_kbd_macro_0-Sa5oIO.el

There are many of such processes, and when I count them with "ps -ef|grep emacs|wc", and repeat the command, I see that the number of processes is increasing each time I repeat the command.

I have to kill them with "pkill -f '/usr/bin/emacs --batch'" to get rid of them.

After I have killed these processes, emacs continues the initialization and responds to input. I checked the buffers.


In buffer "*Messages*" there are the following messages:
