Subject: * emacs.c (shut_down_emacs): Don't assume stderr is buffered,
X-Git-Tag: emacs-24.2.90~266
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01108e3f4567db222a7e6e2ed9c484506b491dba;p=emacs.git

* emacs.c (shut_down_emacs): Don't assume stderr is buffered,

or that fprintf is async-signal-safe.  POSIX doesn't require
either assumption.
