Re: XEmacs crashes (segmentation fault) with a core dump on exit/closing a frame

Tom> But I am not on Solaris Please tell us what you _are_ on. Red Hat and SuSE distribute a whole set of extra bugs in their versions of Linux, Red Hat and Mandrake do the same for XEmacs. And they don't tell us about them. #3 0x4031a292 in XtIsSubclass () from /usr/local/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #4 0x4031b0f8 in XtDisplayOfObject () from /usr/local/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #5 0x081af8eb in x_delete_frame () #6 0x081222d3 in delete_frame_internal () It's not very likely to help, but there is an important fix to display handling in 21.4.9rc1. What is likely to help is if you compile with debugging information. The backtrace you give is about as useful as a stack-smashed trace. Tom> '--with-sound=native,esd' Again, it probably doesn't have anything to do with your crash here, but if you value stability you will accept the default and not link to ESD. It's evil, see PROBLEMS. Tom> Using Motif dialog boxes. Tom> Using Motif native widgets. The same goes for Motif on any platform. Most problems we have in Motif related code are Motif bugs. We can and do work around them, but Motif is even less forgiving of any deviation from the undocumented parts of the API than the rest of X11. And if you have a Motif debug library and can get a backtrace with the Motif debug info I'll give you top priority on future bug reports for 3 years. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
