Installation is attached. With debug-on-error and debug-on-signal set t, attempts to access either of the menu items Options > Customize > Face... or Options > Edit Faces... followed by the selection of the default `all' results in the generation of the customise buffer, and the message Creating customization buffer... done at which point stillness descends. I can go away for a cup of tea, and when I move the mouse, xemacs dumps core - no backtrace. The core is no more helpful. When I run gdb -c core xemacs-beta I am informed that the program terminated with a SEGV. `where' gives me #0 0x0 in ?? () I know nothing about gdb, as may be obvious, but I was under the impression that `where' would tell me something about, well, where. Is there any way I can extract more information about this thing? xemacs-beta is a link to src/xemacs, as compiled on June 9, from a cvs update of a day or two before. (I have since done another update without a compile, so I can't say just when.) Yours faithfully, -- __ /__ Peter B.
