annotate README.ben-separate-stderr @ 1015:3d3204656cb4

[xemacs-hg @ 2002-09-24 14:59:22 by michaels] 2002-09-22 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> * specifier.c (specifier_add_spec): Don't do anything if NILP (inst_list)---otherwise, assertions in the rest of the specifier code get violated. 2002-09-20 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> (This partially gets back my patch from 2002-07-20 without the bug.) * process-unix.c (child_setup): Remove Ben's comment noting confusion over the file descriptors >= 3: close_process_descs() doesn't close all. Fix fd range to go up to MAXDESC-1 instead of 64. (unix_create_process): Call begin_dont_check_for_quit to inhibit unwanted interaction (and thus breaking of X event synchronicity) in the child.
