XEmacs kills X server, receives life sentence

I am running Fedora Core 3 on a Pentium 4 machine. Certain Chinese spams, when looked at in XEmacs 21.5 + Gnus (current CVS for both), crash the X server. I have filed a bug report on this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125973 By running in synchronous mode I discovered that a call from XEmacs to XDrawImageString16 is the last thing that happens just before the server dies. XEmacs 21.4, on the other hand, does not crash the X server. However, it does produce warnings like this: (1) (font/warning) Unable to instantiate font for face font-lock-string-face, charset chinese-cns11643-1 (2) (font/warning) Unable to instantiate font for face default, charset chinese-cns11643-1 I just discovered that looking at lisp/paragraphs.el is sufficient to trigger the X server crash. What fun! Does anybody know what 21.5 is doing differently from 21.4 that might help track down this bug? Thanks, -- Jerry James http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/
