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.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
What happened: XEmacs crashed with core dump. Occasionally I would
get a (seemingly random) lisp error instead. Problem happens during
load of ~/.eudc-options.
What I thought should have happened: XEmacs would finish loading
.xemacs/init.el etc and be ready for use :-) Note, the same version,
similarly compiled, works fine on Solaris and Win2K. Hence I wonder
if it's an issue with the openldap version. I've attached the
backtrace and the gdb output. I do not know enough to understand them
myself. One note, removing the eudc .elc files seems to be a
workaround so perhaps there's a byte-compiler issue on linux. I've
inserted some comments into the info generated below.

Load-Path Lisp Shadows:

***** Lots of them; removed to save bandwidth. They are irrelevant to
this case as the crash happens with xemacs -q and then eval'ing
the necessary lines to set up my eudc variables and load the
eudc-options file. *****

installed one. *****
