What were you trying to do?
Just poking around.
What's wrong:
/usr/athena/lib/elisp/discuss.el has a SERIOUS typo:
1111 (let ((process-conection-type nil))
This error means that `process-connection-type' will default to `t',
which makes Emacs use a pty instead of a pipe when communicating with
edsc. This is very inefficient. (I can easily demonstrate why upon
request.) The version in the SIPB locker and in the discuss sources has
the correct version of this line:
grep -n process-connection-type /usr/sipb/lib/elisp/discuss.el
231: (process-connection-type nil)
What should have happened:
You should grab discuss 1.6 for release 7.4, in any event.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
