Evidently the further help will be in better reporting future
crashes.
No core, no help. Lisp by definition can't crash :-), so the
problem
is in the C runtime. Without a C backtrace, there's nothing we can
do.
The problem (at least part of it) is that fedora 16 seems to come
with ulimit core = 0 - I've now fixed that for next time.
Also, your XEmacs appears to be provided by a distro, and very
likely
the symbols have been stripped. If so, please try to find a debug
package for XEmacs, install the exact same version as your XEmacs
package, and use that symbol file to produce a usable backtrace.
Without the symbols, it is almost certain that we can learn nothing.
yum install
xemacs-debuginfo
now done
