bug report

THIS IS A COPY OF A BUG I ALREADY SENT TO YOU: THANKS, ROSER To: xemacs(a)xemacs.org Subject: crash BCC: roser FCC: ~/msent --text follows this line-- This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.1 (patch 3) "Acadia" [Lucid] (i386-pc-linux) of Sun Jul 11 1999 on colargol.tihlde.hist.no configured using `configure i386-pc-linux --prefix=/usr --with-dialogs=athena --cflags=-O2 --lockdir=/var/lock/xemacs --with-pop --with-sound=native' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: ----------------------------------- I was running code written in python, called directly from the menu: Tools > Compile. The process was printing some info in my compilation window. I xlock my session (with that process running) before leaving home, but today the session was unlock (and the process killed, together with the xemacs window). The following information was available: [roser＠argus 4b_POLYNYM]$ xlock Killed [roser＠argus 4b_POLYNYM]$ Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. (...) Lisp backtrace follows: [2] Segmentation fault xemacs medline_top.py (core dumped) [roser＠argus 4b_POLYNYM]$ The information in 'M-x describe-installation' is the following: --------------------------------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux colargol.tihlde.hist.no 2.2.7 #4 SMP Sat Jul 10 21:00:34 CEST 1999 i686 unknown ./configure 'i386-pc-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--cflags=-O2' '--lockdir=/var/lock/xemacs' '--with-pop' '--with-sound=native' XEmacs 21.1-p3 "Acadia" configured for `i386-pc-linux'. Where should the build process find the source code? /home/gig/stigb/redhat/BUILD/xemacs-21.1.3 What installation prefix should install use? /usr What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs use? `s/linux.h' and `m/intel386.h' What compiler should XEmacs be built with? gcc -O2 Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc? yes (Using Doug Lea's new malloc from the GNU C Library.) Should XEmacs use the relocating allocator for buffers? yes What window system should XEmacs use? x11 Where do we find X Windows header files? /usr/X11R6/include Where do we find X Windows libraries? /usr/X11R6/lib Compiling in support for XAUTH.
