Fix C-x 5 2 on the controlling tty; fix some possible crash conditions and a memory leak. * src/frame.c (make_terminal_frame): Don't create frames on a terminal that is being deleted. * src/xfns.c (Fx_create_frame, x_create_tip_frame): Ditto. * src/keyboard.c (tty_read_avail_input): Don't read from a terminal that is being deleted. * src/term.c (get_named_tty): Abort if tty name is NULL. Simplify accordingly. * src/term.c (Ftty_type): Return nil if terminal is not on a tty instead of throwing an error. Doc update. * src/term.c (init_tty): Set name before calling `get_named_tty'. * src/term.c (delete_tty): Let delete_terminal delete the frames. Plug memory leak caused by tty->name. Remove reference to `deleting_tty'. * src/term.c (syms_of_term) <Vsuspend_tty_functions, Vresume_tty_functions>: Doc update. * src/termhooks.h (terminal) <name>: Explain why identifying terminals by name is a bad idea. * src/terminal.c (delete_terminal): Doc update. * src/xterm.c (XTread_socket): Disable loop on all X displays. * src/xterm.c (x_delete_display): Doc update to reflect changes in delete_terminal. * src/xterm.c (x_delete_terminal): Don't set terminal->deleted and let delete_terminal delete the frames on the terminal. * src/xterm.h (x_display_info) <terminal>: Move member earlier in the struct. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-565

This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.

See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions.

Under GNU and Unix systems, the file `Makefile.in' is used as a
template by the script `../configure' to produce `Makefile.c'.  The
same script then uses `cpp' to produce the machine-dependent
`Makefile' from `Makefile.c'; `Makefile' is the file which actually
controls the compilation of Emacs.  Most of this should work
transparently to the user; you should only need to run `../configure',
and then type `make'.

See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
linking and building Emacs on VMS.

The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.

`uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
current user, but no one else.
