>Environment:

	Emacs-19.34b from /usr/ports is being used, but doesn't matter.

>Description:

	send-pr will print 'Aborted' on the terminal after emacs exits
if the user causes a signal to be sent to emacs.  This problem was
recently solved in NetBSD from my complaint.  They said that emacs
commonly created a signal that was sent to the terminal group which
caused send-pr to abort.

>How-To-Repeat:

	A normal emacs editing session will normally trigger this, but
emacs must be used in terminal mode (not X-windows mode).  I believe
that it's some action similar to CTRL-G that does it.

>Fix:
	NetBSD's send-pr was recently fixed in -current.  Fix on
FreeBSD should be the same.

Dave.
