[Bug: 21.4.13] emacs crashed when closing with unsaved file

Itamar Glatzer writes: XEmacs is very old, and many crashes have been fixed since then. There's no information in your post that would help to identify the problem, so at this point all we can do is recommend upgrading to 21.4.20. Fortunately, you seem to have forgotten to send it. The proper way to send a core file is by airmail, on the hard disk, in the machine where the crash occurred. I don't think you want to do that.... If you still have the corefile, it would be very helpful if you would run a debugger on the xemacs executable that crashed, reading program state from the corefile. Obtain a backtrace of stack frames and send that to us. It is very important that the backtrace include symbolic information; since you appear to be using a precompiled binary, it may not be immediately available. In that case, your vendor may make a separate debug executable or symbol table available in an xemacs-debug package (or something like that). If you are not familiar with debuggers, the procedure is straightforward and explained in the Bugs node of the Info manual, which you can read using C-h i in XEmacs. If for some reason you have trouble accessing Info, some other ways of obtaining the information are given in the file BUGS which should be in the XEmacs documentation on your system.
