Re: 21.5 build time segmentation fault

Hi Aidan, Some more data maybe!? While working on moving the smoketest over to a Gentoo server I stumbled on these core dumps for the 21.5 build. Configured like this: ./configure --with-debug --with-error-checking=all -with-assertions --with-mule --with-newgc --with-system-malloc From the src folder running make again (after it core dumps the first time) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ LANG=C make ./xemacs -nd -no-packages -batch -l /home/matsl/work/smoketest/xemacs-21.5/src/../lisp/update-elc.el Loading /home/matsl/work/smoketest/xemacs-21.5/src/../lisp/update-elc.el...
