hi this patch fixes the problem
------------
explanation of the patch: I tried this commands:
$ EMACS_COMMAND='
(let ((start "Emacs")
(stop "\n-- \n"))
(TeX-submit-bug-report)
(let ((a (search-forward start nil t))
(b (search-forward stop nil t)))
(princ (concat
(buffer-substring
(if a (- a (length start)) (point))
(if b (- b (length stop)) (point-max)))))))'
$ emacs-snapshot --no-site-file --no-init-file --batch --eval "(require
'tex-site)" --eval "$EMACS_COMMAND"
this latter command asks for a "Bug report subject:"
and waits for a reply
so my patch sets the stdin from /dev/null
I tried also a patch such as
echo FOOBAR | ${FLAVOR} </dev/null 2>/dev/null >&3 --no-site-file
--no-init-file --batch --eval "(require 'tex-site)"
--eval "$EMACS_COMMAND"
but it seems that the input is disregarded
a.
