XEmacs crash upon startup

In the past, I've successfully built XEmacs versions 21.4.9 & 21.5-b9. However, I cannot build them anymore without --pdump. If I compile with --pdump I get an executable. However, when I try to run the executable I get a core dump immediately. They run fine in a terminal (i.e. xemacs -nw). The results of the run are given in files xemacs-21.4.9-pdump & xemacs-21.5.9-pdump. If I compile without --pdump I get an error when the compilation process reaches: Dumping under the name xemacs Testing for Lisp shadows... The results of the compilation are given in the attached files xemacs-21.4.9 and xemacs-21.5-b9. Tom -- Thomas Olsen email: tolsen(a)nas.nasa.gov ELORET Corp.

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.

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 /u/wk/tolsen/gnu/src/XEmacs/xemacs-21.4.9/src/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
