Howdy guys, I'm not sure if this is a problem you've heard of already, but I'm having some trouble tracking it down. Once or twice a day while reading e-mail, VM starts to go out of control. XEmacs eats up more memory and more CPU, and eventually either dies or locks up X11 for a while. Lately I've been killing it before it becomes too much of a problem. Anyhow, it always happens when I select a new message, and I think on the few backtraces I've managed to get, it always looks like the last thing recorded looks like a `resize-subwindow' call that may have something to do with the gutter. Here's a backtrace I've dug up: Lisp backtrace follows: resize-subwindow(#<image-instance (widget) on #<x-device on ":0.0" 0x213f> (#< face default "default face">)Buffers 789x23 on #<x-frame > 0x0x8cbe808 0x11ef0> 7 89 nil) # bind (inst frame-or-buffer) update-tab-in-gutter(#<buffer "(AD&D) Summary">) select-window(#<window on "(AD&D) Summary" 0x11eee>) # bind (w-list osw sw p first-window position-map) tapestry-set-position-map(((nil nil nil t) (nil nil nil nil)) #<window on "(AD& D) Summary" 0x11eee>) # bind (first-window sf tapestry-windows-changed frame-list frame-map other-map s other-map root-window-edges n map) set-tapestry((((... ...))

I have the gutter disabled, and I'm reading mail in VM with BBDB hooked into it. What could be causing this? It's bugging the heck out of me.
