Last week I asked about XEmacs-21.4.0 crashing on Digital Unix and
Gunnar Evermann pointed out that this problem is already reported
in PROBLEMS file. As Stephen just told that bug reports should be
preferably sent to xemacs-beta list, below is copy of article sent
to comp.emacs.xemacs few days ago. And my question is that should
the REGEX_MALLOC definition work?

Yes, this entry describes the problem, but...

In our current environment it is not easy to set this for our all
users. Moreover, it would not prevent crashing, just make it more
unprobable. So I would prefer other solution...

I configured with --cppflags=-DREGEX_MALLOC but...
