Emacs Scheme buffer taking all CPU resources

2

I am using Debian Linux Testing. I have installed "Geiser", and when I run Scheme programs (either MIT-Scheme or GNU Scheme) everything is fine. There are no CPU resources used by Emacs during running programs. But when I quit from Emacs, the Scheme programs start to consume all CPU resources (100%). I need to kill the programs by using the "kill" command from the terminal. I wonder how I kill the Geiser Scheme interpreter when I close Emacs.

Which operating system etc. are you on? Do you see an "Active processes exist; kill them an exit anyway?" prompt when exiting Emacs? Tried it on a Mac and it kills the guile process on exit. – None – 2019-05-02T12:14:28.753

I am using Debian Linux Testing and Emacs 26.1. I see the message "Active processes exist; kill them an exit anyway" and I say "yes". Somehow it doesn't validate. – ofenerci – 2019-05-02T18:51:29.733

I've only just realised that GNU Scheme != Guile. Took a look at https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/release.html and the first thing there against the 10.1.6 release is "Bug: Killing Emacs scheme buffer was not killing the scheme process" which sounds like it could well be the same issue?

@steevooo, you are right. It is the same issue. – ofenerci – 2019-05-02T22:58:14.280
