Xemacs doesn't start and send-pr can't find a number of startup
files (including gnats-db), so I'm sending this bug report
to crashes(a)xemacs.org. The problem may be related to that stated in
the PROBLEMS file, dealing with Motif and frames. I installed the
suggested Solaris 8 patches, but they did not change the results.
(Patches installed: 108652-47 and 108940-40.) BTW, I'm running
on a Sun Blade 100 with the July release of Solaris 8.
Hope this is helpful,
Gabriel Chacon
Since I can't start Xemacs, I can't give you the M-x describe-installation
info, but here's the xemacs --version:
XEmacs 21.5 (beta4) "bamboo" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) of Fri
Feb 15 2002 on orozco
And here's the ldd, in case you're interested in the Motif libraries:

Furthermore, here's the crash's output followed by the gdb backtrace:
orozco:~> xemacs -private
Fatal error: assertion failed, file EmacsFrame.c, line 413, RECORD_TYPEP (frame,
lrecord_type_frame)
Fatal error (6).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
If you have access to the PROBLEMS file that came with your
version of XEmacs, please check to see if your crash is described
there, as there may be a workaround available.
Otherwise, 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.)
