What has been observed on my Debian system is a SIGSEGV crash in the build. The bleeding edge Red Hat people are seeing a crash in build or a crash in X startup. Since I don't understand at all what's causing the crash, I'm assuming the worst: memory corruption that could strike anytime, anywhere. You're not necessarily safe if XEmacs starts. ISTR that a change in glibc initialization caused similar problems a couple of years back by screwing up the structures we use to keep track of unexec'd data. If this is something similar, then --pdump might be the solution. --with-system-malloc also seems to help, but I don't know why (especially since AFAIK we _do_ use the system malloc on Linux). -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences 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.
