I have a problem with xemacs 21.5
When running in LaTeX mode (editing files
with name foo.tex) the option to change
fontsize (options -> fontsize -> choose)
crashes the process, with the following
output on terminal screen:
This tells us very little; 0x8 is obviously outside of the XEmacs
address space.
We need a C backtrace which you can get EITHER by running XEmacs under
gdb (eg, if XEmacs is installed you can use "gdb `which xemacs` | tee
/tmp/gdb.log"), eliciting the crash, typing "bt" at the gdb prompt,
and then mail us the file /tmp/gdb.log, OR by enabling core files with
"ulimit -c unlimited" in your shell, then running XEmacs normally.
When you get the crash, then find the core file (this is system-
dependent, see your system's documentation), and assuming for example
it's in "/path/to/core", type "gdb `which xemacs` /path/to/core | tee
gdb.log" and continue as above.
You may also have better luck with a more recent version of XEmacs;
current one is 21.5.28 and several crashes were fixed since 21.5.27.
This one doesn't ring a bell so I would like to see the C backtrace
even if 21.5.28 works better for you.
Thanks for your report, and thank you for using XEmacs!
