Improved (?) crash message

There are some ambiguous parts in the current crash message, the send-pr script is bitrotted, and it's well over a screenful. I propose the following amendment. Comments welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fatal error (%d). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs is distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If necessary, send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation, or the file Installation in the top directory of the build tree for *the version that crashed*. *Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result of this crash (usually called `core', and located in the directory in which you started the editor, or in your home directory), and type gdb ... core then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.) If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited') in case of future recurrance of the crash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
