Hi, I am experiencing occasional crashes under Xemacs while running the VM mail reader. Xemacs will stay up for about an hour or so and then crash suddenly with a segmentation fault; see stacktrace below. It seems to happen inside strlen() while processing the path name of one of my mail folders. Perhaps this is a bug in Cygwin, but I haven't yet downloaded Cygwin source to compile a debugging version. I have also experienced this bug in two other versions of xemacs: 21.4.1 and 21.4.12. Any suggestions on what to do next? -Pete $ gdb xemacs GNU gdb 2003-03-03-cvs (cygwin-special) Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
