Exit with a fatal error, printing informations about jed. BTW: jed didn't
restore the terminal correctly. But this might also a problem of the
shell.

Yes. I can't remember I've seen it happen without jed being invoked by
git.

I lost track of the development of jed. Did you add support for the
multikey (aka compose) in xjed? I have a patch that enables the multikey
but breaks copy & paste and redrawing of the window.

http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-jed/jed.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/fix-multi-key.dpatch;h=da60e7802a7b123231574d37b98b71065f25f7d9;hb=0.99.19

What do you think about applying this patch? It doesn't add new
functions, but makes the code using more SLang 2 features.

Did you've fix this bug?
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306223

Except from these issues I don't remember anything else that has to be
done.

I'll not be able to answer to any postings henceforward. I'll go into
holidays for ten days.

Bye, Jörg.
