Well, I still experience the ae 'hang on exit' bug, and my version of
'ae' is the one from 2.1:
%dpkg -l ae
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-===============-==============-============================================
ii ae 962-21.1 Anthony's Editor -- a tiny full-screen edito
So, I got curious and decided to try the one from potato, seeing as it
didn't require me to do any other upgrades.
%dpkg -l ae
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-===============-==============-============================================
ii ae 962-24 Anthony's Editor -- a tiny full-screen edito
And I still get ae to hang at least 1 time in 20 one exiting normally,
about 1 time in 5 in "vi emulation" mode. And it only seems to happen
on a text console, not in an xterm.
Shall I submit a new bug or reopen the old one?
