*sigh* backtraces in garbage collection from stripped binaries are
dead useless. :-(
If you can get debugging symbols from Debian (I don't know whether
they provide such a package, but I know it's theoretically possible),
and gives a backtrace with the symbols present, that would be a big
help.
If not, it would be helpful if you could rebuild from the debian
source package with the --debug configure option, and stripping turned
off in debian/rules, if that's possible for you. Then we'd have a
much better shot at diagnosing this the next time.
Also, these shadows:
(/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnus/yenc
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnus/yenc
are very strange. Could you take a look at those directories and see
why the same library is getting reported twice?
This is Debian lossage, and very dangerous because of
incompatibilities in the byte-compiler:
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/debian-startup
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnus/gnus-load
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus/lisp/gnus-load
We've told the debian maintainers about this, but they evidently
hadn't fixed it by the time you installed your XEmacs.
This is scary:
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnuserv/gnuserv
/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.17/lisp/gnuserv
I have no idea why they are distributing a separate gnuserv when it's
standard in XEmacs, and has been for ages.

Dale> /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.17/lisp/build-report)
This is normal. We haven't figured out quite what to do about it yet,
and it should be harmless.
