Maybe all 21.5 users are using the new newgc, Mats> ;-), or have not synced with CVS lately, :-(. Certainly not all of them -- I have just invested significant effort into trying to narrow down the problem I had. XEmacs was crashing, with symptoms very similar to yours. 21.5.24 was not showing this problem. I've tried using, one after another, --disable-kkcc disabling --with-optimization and enabling error checking. I was not using --enable-newgc. I did not realize that --enable-newgc is completely independent from --enable-kkcc. If there is an intention of keeping the old code around, perhaps better descriptions should be provided in configure? (as in --with-gc=vanilla for folks who want to go back to a working default) --J.
