bug#13901: Emacs crashing Mac OS X when quit with a shell running

[Andrew Pennebaker]

I often code with two windows open, one for code, one for a shell. When I'm done editing a file, I press C-x C-c to quit Emacs. However, when I do this in Mac OS X, my computer crashes.

Steps to Reproduce:

open Terminal.app

$ emacs

C-x 2

C-x o

M-x shell

C-x o

C-x C-f <file>

(finish editing)

C-x C-s

C-x C-c

"Active processes exist; kill them and exit anyway? (yes or no)"

yes

(OS crashes here)

System:

$ specs emacs brew bash os hardware

Specs:

system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep 'System Version'

      System Version: OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

system_profiler | grep 'Model Identifier'

      Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5

Mitigation:

Until this is resolved, I have to remember to safely quit the shell process before quitting Emacs.

C-x b *shell*

exit

"Process shell finished"

C-x C-c
