Re: [Crash!] It did it again!

I don't know if this will help or not. It occurred to me that if I ran xemacs under gdb I might get some sort of trace at the next crash. Fatal error: assertion failed, file /usr/src/xemacs-21.2/src/insdel.c, line 371, ptr == end Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x4043b0c1 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) where #0
