I've seen the page, but only while the core has been dumped to the disk ;-( Do we have sort of a "off by one error"? norbert. The backtracre reads: (gdb) bt #0 0x28467c78 in kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.3 #1 0x8084519 in fatal_error_signal (sig=6) at emacs.c:278 #2 0xbfbfdfdc in ??

The test against buffer start, which expands to (Byteind) 1, thus fails. #4 0x810c6af in bufpos_to_bytind (buf=0x82f8400, x=0) at insdel.c:1117 #5 0x80c9433 in report_extent_modification (buffer=137331712, start=0, end=0, afterp=1) at extents.c:2272 signal_after_change changes start and end to 0, since all buffer variables have this value (haven't been changed, yet?). #6 0x8109b83 in signal_after_change (buf=0x82f8400, start=0, orig_end=2909, new_end=0) at insdel.c:2320 #7 0x810a9f9 in buffer_insert_string_1 (buf=0x82f8400, pos=2909, nonreloc=0xbfbfd0f4 ">\n", reloc=136603652, offset=0, length=2, flags=0) at insdel.c:2594 What strikes me odd is, that the variable pos changed its value from -1 to 2909 between these two calls (an optimisation issue?). #8 0x810cee3 in buffer_insert_raw_string_1 (buf=0x82f8400, pos=-1, nonreloc=0xbfbfd0f4 ">\n", length=2, flags=0) at insdel.c:2614 #9 0x812a951 in read_process_output (proc=145660416) at process.c:915

Do you think all | should be changed that way? This is just my opinion, but if function starts with argument BUFFER ot WINDOW or FRAME, they all should be optional and by default refer to current (active) unit.

Martin Buchholz

My most recent emergency commit to the CVS tree has resulted in an XEmacs that doesn't crash anymore. I am writing this message in such an XEmacs. Nevertheless, caution is advised. Martin

Don't use unstable versions of distributions (although I need to see whether the transition is complete enough, come potato release time).

Warning: building with the layout stuff 24 years, 10 months

Andy Piper

Something I should mention is that the layout code seems to (I think) tickle an optimizer bug in the version of gcc I have. I have to build glyphs.c without optimization to get around it. Simplistic reorganisation of glyphs.c does not cure it - but I'm sure someone (Martin ?:) will be able to figure it out. andy -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Senior Consultant Architect, BEA Systems Ltd

It's easy to make the argument optional, but note that XEmacs has a whole bunch of functions starting with `window-'. Do you think all should be changed that way?
