Re: [Bug: 21.4.19] Binary characters in buffer causes emacs to crash
Ar an naoú lá is fiche de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Hoylen Sue:
XEmacs crashes when trying to view a buffer that contains some
strange
binary (i.e. non-roman) characters in it.
This is a symptom of the incomplete multilingual support on Microsoft
Windows in 21.4. 21.4 doesn’t have the Unicode support necessary for
multilingual display on that platform; try 21.5 if using a beta version is
an option for you.
It crashes and prints out the following message:
Fatal error: assertion failed, file /usr/src/xemacs-21.4.19/src/redisplay-msw.c, line
563, runs[i].dimension == 1
Aborted (core dumped)
I first saw this bug when I had received some SPAM email containing
Chinese or Japanese characters in it, and was reading the mail using
Gnus. It would cause Xemacs to crash when trying to display the
article summary buffer in Gnus (which I assume was trying to display
the Subject line).
