fatal crash while typing

To: XEmacs Beta <xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org&gt; Subject: [Bug: 21.4.6] random crash and segfault --text follows this line-- ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I was minding my own business writing my cs031 project, and bam! segfault. here's a a list of the last couple errors from xemacs which were printed out in the console, I'm not sure if they are relevant or not but who knows? xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 74 (X_PolyText8) Resource id in failed request: 0x8b1c970 Serial number of failed request: 4084576 Current serial number in output stream: 4084582 xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 69 (X_FillPoly) Resource id in failed request: 0x8b1c970 Serial number of failed request: 4084577 Current serial number in output stream: 4084582 xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 65 (X_PolyLine) Resource id in failed request: 0x8b1c970 Serial number of failed request: 4084578 Current serial number in output stream: 4084582 Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. 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. Otherwise, please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command M-x describe-installation. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. 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 /usr/bin/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.) Lisp backtrace follows: Segmentation fault ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux eeyore 2.4.19-pre5-eeyore #1 Fri Apr 5 00:42:42 EST 2002 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-sound=none,native' '--cflags=-O2 -g -Wall' '--with-x11' '--extra-verbose' '--with-site-lisp' '--statedir=/var/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info/xemacs-21.4.6' '--prefix=/usr' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--dynamic' '--without-postgresql' '--with-gpm=no' '--with_menubars=lucid' '--with_scrollbars=lucid' '--with_dialogs=athena' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.6/i386-debian-linux/mule/' '--with-mule' '--with-canna=no' '--with-wnn=no' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--package-path=~/.xemacs:~/.xemacs/packages:~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages::/usr/share/xemacs21/packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/mule-packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages' 'i386-debian-linux' XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" configured for `i386-debian-linux'.
