ldap not working with Xemacs-21.0 on cygwin 26 years, 1 month

Dr. Volker Zell

Hi I compiled Xemacs-21.0.(67) on WinNT under the cygnus environment with ldap support. This used to work in version xemacs-21.0.60 but now when trying to connect to an ldap server, xemacs just dies, no core no nothing the xemacs-window just disappears immediatly. Is this a known problem, on NT/cygnus or are there problems on other plaforms also ?? Ciao Volker

Could someone update .messages at ftp.xemacs.org? 26 years, 1 month

Kevin Oberman

The .messages file in the /pub/xemacs directory still lists 20.4 as the current release. Could whoever has access to this file possibly update it to 21.1? Or should it be 21.1.2 (ugh)? Thanks, R.

Xemacs 21 sig11, core 26 years, 1 month

boreilly＠legato.com

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.0 "20 minutes to Nikko" [Lucid] (sparc-unknown-linux) of Wed May 12 1999 on dakota.legato.com Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Xemacs is coredumping randomly when interaction /w the x-widgets occurs. I am not sure what is causing this situation, but I have performed a backtrace on the corefile, and will include that information here: Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command M-x describe-installation. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /usr/local/bin/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.) Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) scrollbar-vertical-drag((#<window on "psv.html" 0x2a7b> . 934)) # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...)

You *do* know what I mean. If you tell Joe "this is a new patch level for 21.0". Joe will understand "this is a new release with some bug fixes". Of course nothing holds us to that requirement, except the common sense people give to the notion of patch level. Now if you start claiming a new patch level is released, and the options file has changed syntax, expect to be flamed. > and I'm not going to sign any papers saying that we'll only fix bug. We may > very well *introduce* bugs, for all we know. That's exactly why the notions of feature/code freeze exist, and why it's good to firmly adhere to this policy regarding releases[1]. In real life, nothing is all white or all black. You're never completely sure that you wont introduce a new bug by fixing another one. However, strongly filtering the patches (like Tomo's) for 21.1 is the way to limit the risk. Footnotes: [1] that's also why it'd be good to have more frequent minor releases. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
