You've got bad bytecode from somewhere: #7 0x8091d67 in execute_rare_opcode (stack_ptr=0xbfffd3e4, program_ptr=0x871a5c6 "*\bìñ(\b\\F(\bäÆ]\b!", opcode=185) at bytecode.c:1479 #8 0x8090f5b in execute_optimized_program ( program=0x871a5b8 "d\220u\b´Dn\bd¼*\bô¹*\bìñ(\b\\F(\bäÆ]\b!", stack_depth=4, constants_data=0x86ab230) at bytecode.c:658 The `¹' (compare frame #7 with frame #8) is not a legal bytecode. One possibility is it's supposed to be immediate data, but somehow XEmacs is not advancing program_ptr correctly. Dave> One note, removing the eudc .elc files seems to be a Dave> workaround so perhaps there's a byte-compiler issue on Dave> linux. I doubt it; the byte-compiler is all in Lisp. However, if you can isolate which one I'd be much obliged---I don't seem to have an .elc containing that bytecode. So, my guess is .elcs compiled with GNU Emacs. Try removing the .elcs, loading _all_ the files in that directory, then executing M-x byte-recompile-directory in that directory. (You could also try comparing the .elcs across the different platforms.) If that doesn't help, then the fact that the same code works on other platforms, combined with the Linux vendor being "Red Card", indicates a GCC optimization which screws up the bytecode interpreter. What version of GCC (gcc --version) are you using? We may need to disable some optimization.

Two more tries: (a) CFLAGS=-O2 in the environment and (b) --use-union-type to ./configure. -- 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.
