Re: core dumped while executing first latex (preview pkg) files, then vm

If you can find a way to replicate this (ie, the exact sequence of keystrokes) from xemacs -vanilla, including any files that seem to be relevant, that would be very helpful. Short of that, we really need a C backtrace. ulimit -c unlimited to get core dumps, or start xemacs from inside the debugger (for gdb, just "gdb `which xemacs`", then "run $your-usual-arguments" at the gdb prompt).

This seems unlikely; I don't think that would be order dependent. I think it more likely that we have a GCPRO problem somewhere. But I'll keep your hypothesis in mind. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
