I was typing something into the minibuffer and xemacs is now stuck. Not sure exactly what I was doing. (Doing things in several windows). Anyway, here is the traceback from gdb of where it got stuck. This is on Solaris 2.7, with Motif and Mule. I'll leave it around for a bit in case some who understands X want to look at some variables or something.
