What annoys me most are the frequent crashes on x86_64 platforms. At
least once a day for me. Unfortunately, I cannot find a procedure to
reproduce these crashes.
Have you posted a bug to the tracker (searching on creator=mfabian +
module='core code 21.5' gives nothing, searching on module="code code
21.5" + "all text"="crash" gives 68, 149, 317, and 220, none of
which
look familiar)? Please make sure that there's a backtrace with the
bug. A cross-ref to the Novell/SuSE tracker would be acceptable (just
write out an URL in the Comment field).
The second most annoying thing is that often the memory
consumption goes up without any apparent reason. Right
now the xemacs I am using to type this mail uses more than
a gigabyte memory:
Known issue, cause unknown, except it's presumably in GC. When you
discuss memory issues, please CC Marcus Crestani
<crestani(a)xemacs.org>, GC is his baby, but he only seems to
intermittently pay attention to the list. You could also create a bug
for it and assign it to him. Then he will get pinged any time someone
adds to it.
Some people have run under malloc debuggers, but that's really painful
:-(. Detecting a slow leak that way is probably not really feasible.
