This only makes sense if you have configured your XEmacs with --enable-newgc. Have you? Then, your XEmacs probably ran out of memory. XEmacs issues a warning like the one you mention and tries to recover from the memory shortage. In your case it seems that the recovery has failed. There is a memory leak in the incremental garbage collector. Till now I have not found the cause of the memory leakage, I'll keep investigating. On what platform did you get this crash? Your Installation file could be helpful to me, too. -- Marcus
