Re: Crash in XEmacs 21.4.9 on Mandrake 9.0

Eric> Any suggestions would be welcome! I'm using the XEmacs Eric> build that comes with Mandrake 9.0 There's not much we can say, since your binary has been stripped of all symbols except those absolutely required for linking. You also should probably use M-x report-emacs-bug to report the crash. Probably it makes no difference, but there is some extra information provided in the preformatted bug report that occasionally helps track problems down. Since you have no Lisp backtrace, there's no way to even guess what XEmacs was doing at the time of the crash. The most likely candidate is some kind of memory corruption, possibly related to garbage collection. Some bugs in that area have been fixed in recent releases; you might try updating. You can also build your own, which is easy as long as you have the needed development packages available. This also has the advantage that you can leave the debugging symbols in the binary.
