Dear Bug Team!
Xemacs crashed intermittently during dired "f" command to open a file
and/or clicking the middle mouse the open a file. Sometimes the
crashes occur frequently within minutes of starting Xemacs, other
times it will run for sevral days before crashing. I have found no
reliable way of getting it to crash with a simple series of keytrokes
or mouse clicks and can't relate the crashes to my editing behavior.
I have also seen crashes when doing a tags-search.
The crashes are independent of my init.el file having been run but I
have nevertheless appended of the file to this bug report.

Error message:
---------------------------------------
app-sparc-rtp-017 ~/ >> Fatal error: assertion failed, file xlwtabs.c, line 1988,
*reply_width > 0 && *reply_height > 0
Fatal error (6).
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'.
*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 /usr2/jeffreyb/src/xemacs-21.4.0/src/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:
# bind (inhibit-quit)
# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)

;;; How to create a key definition from a keyboard macro:
;;; *****************************************************
;;; 1.) Create the keyboard macro.
;;; 2.) Give the macro a name (ex" find_ff) using "name-last-kbd-macro".
;;; 3.) Insert macro definition as Lisp into a buffer using
"insert-kbd-macro":
;;; ex: (fset 'find_ff "\C-s\C-q\C-l\C-u0\C-l")
;;; 4.) Assign the macro body to a key in the .emacs file:
