Re: [comp.emacs.xemacs] Re: 21.4.5, re_match_2_internal and cygwin 1.3.2
-- "Henry S. Thompson" <ht(a)cogsci.ed.ac.uk> spake thusly:
I'm getting segfaults at re_match_2_internal (from font_lock,
although
I don't think that's germain) with the cygwin version of xemacs,
installed prebuilt (using the new installer -- definitely a good
thing!). The archives suggest this is a stack overflow/malloc/alloca
issue. I'm using the recent cygwin, 1.3.2, and the most recent cygwin
prebuilt, namely 21.4.5
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but is this a cygwin problem or an xemacs
problem, and is there anything I can do to fix it?
I just rolled back to 21.4.3, and the problem does not _appear_ to
occur there -- of course, if it's memory allocation issue, small
differences can move problems around . . .
Would it be possible to provide more specific information; e.g., a
stack backtrace and a recipe for reproducing using 'xemacs -vanilla'?
Thanks.
