 I get reproducable crashes with various betas (21.0-b57,
21.0-prelim,
 21.2-b2) and optimization. The strange things is that these errors
 which are reported as 
...
 Pid 5479 killed due to trashed stack. 
...
 Pid 5479 was killed due to failure in writing the signal context.

...
 [2] Illegal instruction /opt/src/xemacs-21.0-b57/src/xemacs -f vm
 (core dumped) 
...
 are always placed around calls to make_uninit_string ()

 Are there any related problems known so far? 
Not that I'm aware of.  Do you have stack traces with line numbers?

...
 BTW, any reason why --error-checking=all doesn't work with
configure
 anymore? 
No.  I just did three builds with --error-checking=all a few moments
ago.  How is it breaking for you?
