================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I also ran into this problem with 21.5.11, but since 21.5.13 is current I installed that and tried it. Sequence of operations: start xemacs, click on the "Options" item on the menubar. Poof. Xemacs abort message and gdb callstack listing are appended to the end of this message. paul ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: NetBSD plato 1.6_STABLE NetBSD 1.6_STABLE (EQLBUILD) #0: Tue Feb 11 13:51:34 EST 2003 root＠lx200:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/EQLBUILD i386 ./configure XEmacs 21.5-b13 "cauliflower" configured for `i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.6.'.

Fatal error: assertion failed, file eval.c, line 1467, Attempt to call Lisp code from within redisplay without being properly wrapped Fatal error (6). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs was 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 that won't work, send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently, the file `Installation' in the top of the build tree). *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 (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type gdb /usr/local/bin/xemacs 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. Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # bind (inhibit-quit) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...)
