Dear Bug Team!
Xemacs seems to keep crashing without any specific triggering action by the
user. It had never done so in the past, with other installations and on
different machines.
Sometimes it crashes right after launching the program at the first attempt
of
typing any command. Sometimes it crashes when not used at all, idling in the
background. We thought it might have been triggered by the focus policy in
the
x-windows system, but changing it did not prevent crashes. They also happen
while running latex or idlwave. When xemacs crashes, it leaves no core files
behind. And we could not recover the Lisp backtrace either.
'Lisp backtrace follows:' is empty. We have added now (setq
stack-trace-on-error
t) to our .emacs. Any suggestions? thanks for your help. Rick Damiani
our .emacs:
;;(set-auto-mode)
;;(setf comint-input-ring-size 100)
;;; XEmacs backwards compatibility file
(setq stack-trace-on-error t)
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)
;; Syntax Highlighting
