I just compiled xemacs-21.2-b41, and I'm running into problems.
uname -a: OSF1 goedel3 V5.0 1094 alpha
XEmacs 21.2-b41 "Polyhymnia" configured for `alphaev5-dec-osf5.0'.
The configuration and make processes seem to work fine, but when I
start it up, I get crashes almost immediately. For instance, if I do
'xemacs -q -vanilla', then hit 'C-x C-f RET', I get the message
"Loading dired", and then it crashes with "Fatal error (11)."
I've
appended the backtrace. I know nothing about debugging things; should
I do something to get more helpful messages?
By the way, I don't have these problems with version 21.2-b40.

This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
(for example, in a stripped executable). In that case, you may wish to
increase the size of the search with the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.
Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.
