Hi Tim, could you please send us (xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org) a C stack backtrace as recommended below? You may want to send the information with M-x report-xemacs-bug or M-x report-emacs-bug depending on the availability and version of the net-utils package. If you have a recent version of net-utils installed (which I recommend) it will tell us important facts about your XEmacs installation. Best regards, Adrian TIM> Adrian, TIM> I just got a new HP C3600 system and installed xemacs 21.1.14 TIM> on it. I also have the Revert buffer problem that you TIM> replied to Peter Mours on 16 May 2001. TIM> You asked for more information. What would you like. Here TIM> is what was outputted to the screen. All I had to do is just TIM> do a TIM> I also tried to open a file and choose revert prior to any TIM> changes and also got a core dump. TIM> I also had loaded xemacs 21.1.9 on my system and it also core TIM> dumps when you revert your buffer. TIM> Any help would be greatly appreciated.
