Re: XEmacs dumps core upon exiting (sometimes)

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! XEmacs dumps core upon exiting about once every three or more times or so. My gut tells me this is because of a build error (like say, 'configure' failed to detect something, or it detected something erroneously), but I have nothing tangible on which to base that opinion. A search of the PROBLEMS file produced this (which quickened my pulse briefly -- until I read further): *** On Solaris 2.6, XEmacs dumps core when exiting. This happens if you're XEmacs is running on the same machine as the X server, and the optimized memory transport has been turned on by setting the environment variable XSUNTRANSPORT. The crash occurs during the call to XCloseDisplay. If this describes your situation, you need to undefine the XSUNTRANSPORT environment variable. which appears NOT to apply in my situation, since I am using Hummingbird Exceed on a Windows NT 4.0 SP6 box as my X server. I do not have the XSUNTRANSPORT environment variable defined in any case.
