Ciao bug team:

Sorry I didn't report this to the efs list straight away :

With the following line in my .emacs file, emacs hangs completely (no
\C-g, only kill to stop it) :

  (setq default-frame-alist '((menu-bar-lines . 0) (background-color . "darkgreen") (foreground-color . "cyan")))

Change the menu-bar-lines to 1 and its okay.

Richard Stallman sent me this :

	Since efs isn't part of Emacs, I tried this with ange-ftp.
	It didn't hang.

	How about asking the efs maintainers to debug what happens with efs.

Let us know if you need more info. or help testing.

Thanks,

Adrian
