[Bug: 21.4.22] Lonely crash of XEmacs_21_4_22_powerpc_ibm_aix5_3 after hundreds of hours of use with no problem whatsoever

Dear XEmacs maintainer, I have had only one crash of XEmacs after hundreds hours of flawless use. I am not the least concerned about this crash. However, I was able to get a stack backtrace. I had to trick 'dbx' just a bit to get it to provide the backtrace. Please find below an initial attempt at using 'dbx', then some shell commands and then the successfull attempt with the backtrace. Many thanks indeed. -- Laurent Langlois (Happy happy user of XEmacs and Emacs.) ________________________________________________________________________________ -> dbx /usr/local/bin/xemacs core Type 'help' for help.
