xemacs had a bad day

Half an hour ago my xemacs keept crashing when I tried to start it. This happened even when I typed xemacs --help. Happily I solved the problem by restarting the computer. Here is a backtrace that I made, while starting xemacs from within gdb. Happy hacking Niels Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08102fec in Fmake_extent () (gdb) where #0 0x08102fec in Fmake_extent () #1 0x080b77b6 in Ffuncall () #2 0x080910cd in execute_optimized_program () #3 0x08090cd8 in funcall_compiled_function () #4 0x080b7702 in Ffuncall () #5 0x080910cd in execute_optimized_program () #6 0x0809392d in Fbyte_code () #7 0x080b728a in Feval () #8 0x0814e033 in readevalloop () #9 0x0814cd7b in Fload_internal () #10 0x080b782e in Ffuncall () #11 0x080910cd in execute_optimized_program () #12 0x08090cd8 in funcall_compiled_function () #13 0x080b7702 in Ffuncall () #14 0x080910cd in execute_optimized_program () #15 0x08090cd8 in funcall_compiled_function () #16 0x080b7110 in Feval () #17 0x080b4762 in condition_case_1 () #18 0x0809b00b in top_level_1 () #19 0x080b43b9 in internal_catch () #20 0x0809b123 in initial_command_loop () #21 0x080b0ca2 in xemacs_21_4_8_i386_redhat_linux () #22 0x080b1732 in main () #23 0x420158d4 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 uname -a: Linux astest 2.4.9-e.8smp #1 SMP Fri Jul 19 15:38:30 EDT 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux ./configure 'i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--mandir=/usr/share/man/man1' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--with-gpm=no' '--with-sound=native' '--with-pop' '--mail-locking=lockf' '--with-clash-detection' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' '--with-mule=yes' '--with-database=berkdb' '--with-ldap=yes' '--with-hesiod=no' '--with-canna=yes' '--with-wnn=yes' '--with-widgets=motif' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with-dialogs=motif' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-msw=no' '--with-xfs=yes' '--pdump' XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter" configured for `i386-redhat-linux'.
