Hansen> #3 0xc3705b20 in RemoveMatchingEntries () from /usr/lib/Motif1.2/libXm.1 This looks like typical Motif lossage that we can't do much of anything about, except add it to PROBLEMS. See if you can get your vendor to provide a Motif patch. If it really bothers you, you could try using a different library to provide widget support, but on a commercial platform that can be a lot more grief than you want. :-( Notes: There is a similar crash while tearing down the connection for Solaris ** SunOS/Solaris *** Crashes when using Motif libraries, especially with multiple frames. Crashes that produce C-backtraces like this: #0 0xfec9a118 in _libc_kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #1 0x77f48 in fatal_error_signal (sig=11) at /codes/rpluim/xemacs-21.4/src/emacs.c:539 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0xfee929f4 in XFindContext () from /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4 #4 0xfee92930 in XFindContext () from /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4 #5 0xff297e54 in DisplayDestroy () from /usr/dt/lib/libXm.so.4 #6 0xfefbece0 in XtCallCallbackList () from /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4 #7 0xfefc486c in XtPhase2Destroy () from /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4 #8 0xfefc45d0 in _XtDoPhase2Destroy () from /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4 #9 0xfefc43b4 in XtDestroyWidget () from /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4 #10 0x15cf9c in x_delete_device (d=0x523f00) are caused by buggy Motif libraries. Installing the following patches has been reported to solve the problem on Solaris 2.7: 107081-40 107656-07 For information (although they have not been confirmed to work), the equivalent patches for Solaris 2.8 are: 108940-33 108652-25 and another for Linus which IIRC was even closer to your (sorry, no trace -- Lesstif is a "free" implementation of Motif): *** XEmacs crashes on exit. This is known to happen with Lesstif version 0.93.36. It is apparently due to breakage in Lesstif. There is a patch for Lesstif. Frank McIngvale <frankm(a)hiwaay.net&gt; says: Ok, 0.93.34 works, and I tracked down the crash to a section marked "experimental" in 0.93.36.
