This is a bug reported by a Debian user. Any ideas what's wrong?
My guess would be...
This initialization error calls perror(), a macro which expands to
message(). Then xemacs hangs in the bytecount_to_charcount() function
after some function calls.
... that this function is called with the latin1 string Succès, ..
#0 0x8100ef4 in bytecount_to_charcount (ptr=0x4054381f "Succès", len=6)
at insdel.c:364
.. but expects the string to be in internal mule encoding.
I am not sure there is an easy fix here, apart from defining perror
as empty or fprintf(stderr,..) which would probably be a good idea
anyway.

P.S. Is Sylvain running in an locale with French "error" messages?
