Perfectly understandable :-)
I'll try to find a couple of spare minutes to investigate the failure
mode.
As usual, if I can get access to your machine, I'll take a look
at how
your xemacs build is different from mine, and debug the problem.
Unfortunately, I'm a guest on that machine myself, so I can't grant
you log in access.

All good free software hackers eventually become guilty of this.

BTW, there's another issue in XEmacs that has been bothering me for a
while. It seems to have a very low limit on resolving soft links, and
I often get errors from ``Finding truename: Too many levels of
symbolic links''. It turns out that, because of various reasons, my
various cross-NFS-mounted home directories are a maze of soft-links,
and XEmacs imposes a lower limit than what would have been enough for
me. It hasn't annoyed me sufficiently for me to go hunt the culprit
piece of code and increase the limit myself, but... Any chance of
getting this limit increased a little bit? :-)
Thanks in advance,
