================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I had xemacs crash when opening a new file. I did: C-x C-f, specified the new file name (smyth-seats.awk) and it died completely. I'm running windowmaker with gnome (gnome2-2.4.0, installed from the FreeBSD ports system). The xemacs window just disappeared. I have xemacs start up on login; the following is from .xsession-errors: -------------------------------------------------- Fatal error (11). 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 necessary, send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include 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 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. Lisp backtrace follows: awk-mode() # bind (alist mode name keep-going) # (unwind-protect ...) # bind (just-from-file-name) set-auto-mode() byte-code("..." [set-auto-mode t] 1) # (condition-case ... .

I've used xemacs for the last few years (and emacs before that) and have seldom (never?) had it crash like this. I have noticed that there are odd interactions between my current installation of mozilla (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031107) and my current installation of xemacs. Perhaps once a week, xemacs will stop responding and will print messages to .xsession-errors indicating a X event(?) problem. If I can give you any more information, please let me know.
