Actually, the Lisp stack trace shows the crash in string-match, which is a regex routine. robert> For OS X, it might be helpful fot the configure script to robert> save ulimit or limit -a as part of the intallation robert> information.

This is a good idea, except that since stack is a runtime problem it seems that both false negatives and false positives would be really likely. I'm pretty sure we can get that information internally and we should spit out a warning at runtime (this would show up at build time when dumping and compiling), and also print that information in M-x report-emacs-bug. There's also been talk of forcing a reasonable stack size (I suppose OS/X supports getrlimit/setrlimit?), but I'm not familiar enough with that kind of code to do it myself. -- 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.
