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 "Boreas" [Lucid] (i386-bong-linux, Mule) of Fri Feb 12 1999 on bong configured using `configure i386-bong-linux --debug=no --error-checking=none --memory-usage-stats=no '--cflags=-g -O4 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-loops=2 -malign-functions=2 -finline-functions' --with-mule=yes' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I got an error in gnus (some dired function), tried to leave gnus typing 'q', which yielded another error message. The gnus group buffer was still visible but 'q' was no valid command anymore. Typing 'C-x C-c' then lead to a delay of some seconds, then XEmacs dumped core. Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. 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&#39;. *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 /usr/local/bin/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: # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...) 4-tea-2:~ $ gdb /usr/local/bin/xemacs core GNU gdb 4.17.0.4 with Linux/x86 hardware watchpoint and FPU support Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
