Dear Bug Team!
I have compiled xemacs-21.4.6 on sunos 5.7 and it immediately core dumps
with a lisp stack trace. I have gotten it to compile and run successfully
on sunos 5.8. I tried a number of the ld related PROBLEMS fixes but none
seem to help. The last thing I tried was setting CFLAGS=-fno-gnu-linker.
I tried compiling with both gcc-2.95.2 and gcc-2.95.3. I also tried
removing my .emacs but it still core dumps. We use gcc-2.95.2 and
gcc-2.95.3 for our stuff, and we have not experienced any ld related
problems. I was able to get xemacs -nw to work to generate this email.
Here is the lisp and gdb backtraces, followed by some more xemacs
generated information:
================================
lisp backtrace
Fatal error: assertion failed, file specifier.c, line 2583, abort()
Fatal error (6).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
If you have access to the PROBLEMS file that came with your
version of XEmacs, please check to see if your crash is described
there, as there may be a workaround available.
Otherwise, please report this bug by running the send-pr
script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report'
from the help menu.
As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'.
*MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command
M-x describe-installation.
If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the
directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home
directory), and type
gdb /trout/home/jlm/compile/xemacs-21.4.6/src/xemacs core
then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of
these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
Lisp backtrace follows:
