Recently my XEmacs sometimes crashes by SIGPIPE inside gnus-uu-decode-uu-view. I can't reliably reproduce crashes. I'm not sure when it began to occur. Maybe after I had upgraded my OS from FreeBSD-3.1R to 3.2R, but I'm not sure. There is no core file generated. Here is a lisp backtrace. delete-process(#<process "*uudecode*" pid 80481 state:signal>) byte-code("..."
