Hi,
Here comes yet another status report from the project of converting to
GPLv3 or later.
There are two lists of files below. The first list contains all files
that are in an undecided state. Please inspect: Do we need to do anything
with them. If so what?
The second list contains all files that we can leave untouched and the
reason for that. Please inspect: Are all reasons OK and correct?
Are we getting close to the were an inspection of the xemacs-gplv3
repository could be performed? With the intent that it that is OK we
could merge back to trunk and go GPLv3 or later?

I had a need to run something on my Windows machine today which
required a newer version of Cygwin than the ancient one that was
installed there. After I upgraded to the current version (1.7.9) I
can't start a shell in XEmacs (via M-X shell) using Cygwin's version of
bash. When I try to do so I get
Process bash.exe exited abnormally with code 35584
3 [sig] bash 1168 exception::handle: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
1556 [sig] bash 1168 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
bash.exe.stackdump
The stack dump is uninteresting except that the crash happens at offset
0x169220 in cygwin1.dll. It appears that this crash happens very early
on, before it's read /etc/profile. I see that I also have similar
stack dumps from other programs (find.exe and xargs.exe) in the XEmacs
directory all exactly the same.
I installed the latest Windows version of XEmacs from the installer at
<http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/binaries/win32/InnoSetup/XEmacs_Setup_21...>
and tried starting it with --vanilla. This didn't make any difference.
I also did a clean install of Cygwin 1.7.9 in case there was any crud
left around from the old version. This also didn't help. I'm running
on an old Dell with Windows XP Professional SP3. Perhaps that's the
problem. I probably should install Windows on my Mac under one of the
emulators, but that's more than I want to get into right now.
I've Googled around a bit and although others have seen this problem,
none of the solutions (mostly involving changing ownership of Cygwin
files and running rebaseall) did any good. The bash shell runs fine
when I start it using the .bat file installed by Cygwin, so it's
basically working, but it won't run in an XEmacs shell window.
Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it? This little episode
reminds me why I avoid using Windows, but sometimes it's necessary.
Mike

Hi,
While doing an overhaul of the swedish translation of the GNU Emacs
Tutorial for the upcoming 24.1 release I spotted a thing that we don't
have but GNU Emacs has (introduced earlier than 24.1) and that is
recenter-top-bottom which is bound to C-l. It works like recenter
except that successive call place the point according to the cycling
order defined by `recenter-positions' (default being middle top
bottom)
What do you say? Should we get it? And if we do then shall we bind it
to C-l as default?
I tried to sync and the basic functionality is easy to get in
place. However that code revealed further differences. GNU Emacs has
the property "scroll-margin". When cursor gets within scroll-margin
number of lines from the top or bottom of the window will be
recentered. Interesting for us?
GNU Emacs also have the feature header-line. A line similar to
mode-line except at the top of the window. Example Info-mode creates
one for the navigation links Prev, Up etc. Should we introduce that
to?
Yours

Hello, XEmacs.
When I try to build XEmacs-21.4.22 on a fully normal Gnu/Linux system, I
get the following errors:
gcc -c -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wsign-compare -fno-strict-aliasing -Wshadow -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H glyphs-eimage.c

This used to work fine. I think I've upgraded GCC in the meantime.
Has anybody else seen this, or can anybody offer me any suggestions?
Thanks!

I used macports to install xemacs on my Mac Pro. I've appended hardware and software information about the computer, as well as the installation info below.
I get a segmentation fault when I try to open a file called ProcessImage.py. If I copy ProcessImage.py to a new file named "foo", the file opens without a problem. If I copy ProcessImage.py to a new file named "foo.py", I get a segmentation error. If I copy ProcessImage.py to a new file named "foo.cc", I get a segmentation error. The segmentation error I get when I run xemacs ProcessImage.py is given below. I'm guessing the problem is something to do with the fontification of the programming languages.
I've looked hard for a core file but have had no luck. "ls -a ~" does not show any file with core in its name, and doing "ls-a ~ | grep core" returns nothing. Similarly, there is no file with "core" in its name in the directory from which xemacs was executed.
ls -a /cores returns nothing.
find /opt -name "core" -print | grep xemacs returns nothing.
find /opt -name "core.*" -print | grep xemacs returns nothing.
find /opt -name "core.*" -print returns a variety of file names related to python (they either have .py, .pyc, in their names or are in a python directory)
find /opt -name "core.*" -print | grep -v py returns nothing
If you can suggest another place to search for a core file, please let me know.
I have also done a fairly extensive search for a file called PROBLEMS in the /opt directory, including using the commands:
find /opt -name "*PROBLEMS*" -print
find /opt -name "*Problems*" -print
find /opt -name "*problems*" -print
The first two commands returned nothing, and the last returned the file: /opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/man/auctex/preview-problems.texi, but I didn't see anything relevant in that file.
Here is the xemacs output:
Fatal error (11).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report
the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug,
or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If necessary, send
ordinary email to `xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the XEmacs
configuration from M-x describe-installation, or equivalently the file
Installation in the top of the build tree.
*Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely
to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result
of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in
the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type
gdb /opt/local/bin/xemacs core
then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may
have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.)
If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited'
in case of future recurrance of the crash.

Hello
I sent this mail to the list via gmane and it did not pass it seems, so I
send it again.
>From time to time I receive documents or mail in which the
symbol ’ is used, as in j’ai instead of j'ai.
Now this is perfectly displayed (en encoded via UTF8) in
21.5.31 Mule, however I cannot find any input method for
this symbol.
Well this is not entirely true. latin-ltx includes it:
typing \rq results in ’
but this looks cumbersome.

CC Mode 5.32.3 has just been released.
It contains several speed optimisations for unusual source code and
corrects several bugs.
The changes of this release have already been incorporated into the
latest versions of the Emacs 24 pretest and XEmacs's CC Mode package.
