[Bug: 21.5-b28]

Søren Feodor Nielsen writes: It would be very helpful if you can give us an exact sequence of keystrokes and/or mouse gestures to reach the crash starting from "xemacs -vanilla" on the command line. Without that we may be unable to reproduce the crash. We really need to get a C backtrace to debug the problem. A crash is *never* the fault of Lisp code; Lisp code cannot crash. ;-) However, the C implementation of Lisp primitives can. I believe that Red Hat-derived distros such as Fedora have a special place they put core files, and they are named something like "core.$$12345" or "xemacs.$$12345" where the "12345" is the process ID of the XEmacs that crashed. If you can't find that core, but can reproduce the crash, you can do "gdb `which xemacs` | tee -a ~/gdb.out", then type "run" to gdb, reproduce the crash, and finally "bt". The "tee" command allows you to capture the output in the file ~/gdb.out which you can just attach to your post. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
