The following crash (no core dump was made) was provoked thus: xemacs -q M-x load-library RET crypt RET C-x RET c big5 RET C-x C-f cedict.b5.gz RET cedict.b5 is the well-known Chinese dictionary in big5. (There is no problem visiting the unzipped file, only the zipped one.) feijoa: xemacs-beta -q Fatal error (13). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If that won't work, send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently, the file `Installation' in the top of the build tree). *Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type gdb /usr/local/bin/xemacs-beta core then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.) If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited') in case of future recurrance of the crash.
