Re: memory exhausted error

Allison> it reports "memory exhausted" and does nothing further. A number of different approaches to memory allocation are used by XEmacs depending on build time switches. Please send us your Installation file (possibly available via M-x report-emacs-bug or M-x describe-installation if you can get it running, otherwise it's in the top directory of your build tree where you ran configure). Have you tried with xemacs -vanilla? How about xemacs -nw -vanilla? Please note that if it's an XEmacs bug, it is highly unlikely to get fixed in the 21.1 series. 21.4 is de facto stable now; pronouncement is primarily waiting on solving a really annoying performance problem in fontlock, not on any worries about instability compared to 21.1. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
