Re: [Bug: 21.4.17] Emacs crashed when trying to change faces

Daniel> Here is a log of a crash that occurred when I tried to Daniel> edit faces: Thank you for your report. While there's not enough information here to diagnose your crash, I can say that a couple of bugs were fixed in the last few months, and recommend upgrading the most recent available version (at this writing 21.4.19). If possible, when you do, please build XEmacs with the symbol table (cc -g and not stripped, the default configuration on all platforms as far as I know). C backtraces in stripped binaries are almost useless unless you have access to the executable and the host on which the backtrace was produced, and even then analysis is very painful. Also, you say you were trying to edit faces, but the Lisp backtrace seems to indicate that XEmacs was in the process of making an SQL request when it crashed. (See below.) Does that make any sense to you? Had you been interacting with an SQL server before trying to edit faces? Regards, Steve read-minibuffer-internal("Server: ") byte-code("..."
