Re: xemacs crash as non-root user on start in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6

Lou-yahoo> xemacs crashes any time it is started with non-root Lou-yahoo> user on my debian potato system. I doubt you tried it with -nw then. This looks like a typical X-related crash. Lou-yahoo> Lisp backtrace follows: Lou-yahoo> # bind (frame-being-created) Lou-yahoo> make-frame(nil #<x-device on ":0.0" 0x1a0b>) Lou-yahoo> frame-initialize() Lou-yahoo> # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left) Lou-yahoo> command-line() This looks a lot like the Hannibal Lector ld crash, but you have -z nocombreloc in the build flags, or the too MuchTif crash (usually observed on Red Hat), but it's not a Motif build. So I don't know what's going on, except that despite your insistance that it's the same binary, I have to wonder since gdb says: Lou-yahoo> warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
