This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.2 (beta31) "Iris" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1, Mule) of Mon Mar 20 2000 on zhora configured using `configure --site-includes=/usr/local/include --site-libraries=/usr/local/sun4/lib --prefix=/tools/xemacs-beta/21.2-pdump --with-sound=none --with-mule --debug=no --error-checking=none --without-tooltalk --without-workshop --pdump' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: If I start up XEmacs and invoke W3 ('M-x w3'), XEmacs crashes almost immediately. Gnus also invokes w3 when it encounters an HTML message, which produces the exact same crashing behavior. It doesn't seem to matter whether I do any other activities before invoking w3, with one exception. If I specify w3 on the xemacs command-line ('-f w3'), it starts up and prints the error "No more character sets for this dimension: 1" and otherwise works okay. If I then invoke w3 again ('M-x w3'), the same crash behavior occurs. I first noticed this behavior as of Thursday, 23 March, 2000.
