Well, you are apparently crashing each time where a Lisp error occurred, in the regexp code that parses the Lisp error output. The classic cause of that is too little stack; make sure you've got enough stack. (ulimit -s.) I think 21.5.12 includes the new code that is supposed to allocate from the heap instead of the stack for "expensive" regexps, and that may be buggy. Robert> No core file was generated - I haven't turned that on... Please do, or run XEmacs from the debugger. Without a C stack trace, it's the nature of an interpreted language that all we can say for sure is "the crash is somewhere in these 6MB of machine code...."
