 If this is the issue and patch I'm thinking of, the patch has been
 applied, but there hasn't been a new release since then. 
Oh, that's right, I remember the situation now.  Sorry for
misspeaking.  I guess if I wanted to be snarky (which I don't,
really) I'd ask next:  "What would it take to get a new version
released?"
 
 You could try downloading from the Mercurial repo and building that.
 I'm running 
OK, just grabbed the latest from Mercurial.  It's been a while since I
built XEmacs from source myself (used to do it a lot, nowadays I let
Gentoo build it for me).
So I grabbed the latest from the hg repo, and used the same configure
command that Gentoo came up with, based on my system settings:
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-widgets=athena --with-dialogs=athena
--with-menubars=lucid --with-scrollbars=lucid --with-athena=3d --with-dragndrop
--with-offix --with-tiff --with-png --with-jpeg --with-xface
--with-xft=emacs,tabs,menubars,gauges --with-sound=native,alsa --with-database=gdbm,berkdb
--with-optimization --with-gif --with-gpm --without-postgresql --without-ldap
--with-file-coding --without-pop --prefix=/usr --with-ncurses --with-msw=no
--with-mail-locking=flock --with-site-lisp=yes --with-site-modules=yes --with-newgc
--enable-option-checking=no --with-last-packages=/usr/lib/xemacs
When I run make, after some trivial compiler warnings (mostly all
"warning: value computed is not used"), I wind up with this:
[...]
      Loading abbrev.el...
      Loading derived.el...
      Loading minibuf.el...
      Loading list-mode.el...
      Loading modeline.el...
      Loading cus-file.el...
      Loading startup.el...
Load file misc: not found
Fatal error during load, aborting
make[1]: *** [NEEDTODUMP] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cgw/XEmacs/xemacs-21.5/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2
There is a "misc.el" in the lisp subdir.  Can anybody see what
I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any tips -
