Can you try running under gdb to see if you can get a better backtrace? If possible, setting a breakpoint on Fget_buffer_window, but I suspect that could be really painful to get to the point of the crash. You're using the same GCC (build 1671 vs. 1666) as me, the identical kernel, I assume you're running a pretty vanilla "Panther" system? A G4 system or a G5 system? What X11 libraries are you using? Apple's? (I use X.org.) What Xft libraries? The main relevant difference seems to be that I use --enable-union-type and you don't. You could try compiling with that switch and see if you get better stability. (Despite Ben's deprecation of --with-union-type for other platforms, there have been reports that it gives greater stability on Macs.) -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
