Re: Crashes running emacs or xemacs: segmentation fault

Please reply to the mailing list, not to individuals. XEmacs is a _team_, and the individual who responds first is often not the person best suited to continue the thread. Also, please don't use HTML-only mail. It's only because I'm a perfectionist that it doesn't go straight to the bit-bucket; in the XEmacs context, we get literally thousands of spams a week in that format, and maybe one or two legit posts a month. You will experience delays and dropouts if you post in that format. Matthew> Thanks. I can't believe I forgot to add in my previous Matthew> email: I am running Cygwin.

Presumably this is later than the 0.93.36 you Matthew> mention below. So how might I verify whether the patch Matthew> you also mention was included in 94-2? Ask the Lesstif people or the Cygwin people. The patch from PROBLEMS simply rips out the finalization, equivalent to cutting off your finger to remove a splinter; I would assume that an actual fix would involve a lot more work. Matthew> Please clarify what you mean by "your OS's section". Section of what? The PROBLEMS file that is distributed with XEmacs. I'm not sure whether Cygwin installs it, it's part of the source distribution. Some of that information may be in the FAQ (see the Help menu, XEmacs FAQ option, or the links to documentation on http://www.xemacs.org/), however the FAQ is organized differently from PROBLEMS. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
