Re: XEmacs 21.4.9 hit assert in src/window.c:2643

Max> While running cscope query, Xemacs hit an "assert" in Max> src/window.c Thanks for the report. Here's what the neighborhood of the assert looks like: /* #### Still needed ?? */ Yes!:-( /* Given the outstanding quality of the rest of this code, I feel no shame about putting this piece of shit in. */ if (++lose_lose >= 500) { /* Call to abort() added by Darryl Okahata (16 Nov. 2001), at Ben's request, to catch any remaining bugs. If you find that XEmacs is aborting here, and you need to be up and running ASAP, it should be safe to comment out the following abort(), as long as you leave the "break;" alone. */ abort(); break; /* <--- KEEP THIS HERE! Do not delete! */ } If Ben and Darryl don't understand this, then it's not likely to get fixed soon. :-( Following the comment and commenting out the abort() seems your best option. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
