with the same procedure and different xemacs start arguments, I got
the
following result:
xemacs -vanilla : no assertion error
xemacs -q : assertion error
xemacs -q --no-site-file : assertion error
The difference between -vanilla and "-q -no-site-file" is whether
"early" packages are used or not. Early packages are the ones in
~/.xemacs.
I would start with the ones that are shadows:
Load-Path Lisp Shadows:
----------------------
(/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mercurial
/home/fktpp/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/vc/mercurial
/home/fktpp/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/xemacs-base/easy-mmode
/usr/local/share/xemacs-21.5-b29/lisp/easy-mmode
/home/fktpp/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/xemacs-base/regexp-opt
/usr/local/share/xemacs-21.5-b29/lisp/regexp-opt
/home/fktpp/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/apel/alist
/usr/local/share/xemacs-21.5-b29/lisp/alist
/home/fktpp/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/build/build-report
/usr/local/share/xemacs-21.5-b29/lisp/build-report)
APEL in particular is really evil. It needs to be compiled with the
binary it runs on. (Theoretically the most recent XEmacs should run
bytecode compiled by anything earlier, but ....) regexp-opt is an
obvious suspect when regexps are involved, of course.
That said, it should not be possible to crash XEmacs from Lisp, so
there's an XEmacs bug here somewhere.
