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 crashes immediately after startup. after removing ~/.xemacs completely it starts up. i set some options an use "save to init file". restart again. call "M-x cvs-status" -> crash. there are no core files anyway. only lisp backtrace: HTH, kai uwe 8<-- dispatch-non-command-events() # (condition-case ... .
