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. In XEmacs 21.2 (beta19) "Shinjuku" [Lucid] (i586-pc-linux) of Thu Oct 7 1999 on morrigan configured using `configure --libs=-ldl --with-modules --debug=no --error-checking=none' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Reading mail in Pterodactyl Gnus, garbage collection happened. I got the following output from gdb. This was 100% reproducible while reading mail. This is from a build done at 10:41 today with the latest CVS sources. I suspect that CGG 2.95 might be at fault and will do a rebuild with '-fno-strict-alias' active. Results as they come in.
