Re: [Bug: 21.5-b28] Crash when printing

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! Background: the three ways of printing a buffer (well, there are more ways, but lets be simple-minded first): - M-x print-buffer: FAILS ... cannot find program "pr" - the print icon on the top menu: FAILS ... cannot find program "" - the File > Print menu item: sometimes works, but not this time ;-( I get the Windows window for selecting a printer, selects it, and does the "OK" there. Then the crash came. No output seen on printer. The printout in the DOS-box is pasted below. By the way ... - `M-x recover-session' did not work .... "nothing to recover" - maybe I should go back to a more stable version of XEmacs-for-MSWindows. BEGIN DOS BOX =================================>>> Fatal error: assertion failed, file c:\XEmacsBuild\xemacs-21.5-2008-10-12\src\device-impl.h, line 166, EQ (DEVICE_TYPE (d), sym) Fatal error. 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 that won't work, send ordinary email to `xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently, the file `Installation' in the top of the build tree). If you are fortunate enough to have some sort of debugging aid installed on your system, for example Visual C++, and you can get a C stack backtrace, *please* include it, as it will make our life far easier.
