Thank you for your report. Janzen, Martin writes: This is unfortunately useless as is, because it's deep inside of X11, and doesn't look like anything I've seen before. My suspicion is that this is just the long-standing practice in X11 of not checking that data received satisfies undocumented restrictions. There's possibly something XEmacs can do to prevent this crash, but without more information about what X was doing at the time, we can't help. (Also, note that it's a "Vendor" handler; it could be that there's a defect in the handler that the vendor supplied, and nothing to do with XEmacs.) If you still have the core file and can get the debug symbols for libXt and libXaw, I'd really like to see the above traceback with arguments. If you'd like to help, but don't know how, it looks like you're using Red Hat, so maybe one of our Fedora users can help. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Hi, Jerry! It was running on RHEL AS4; I believe it's version 4.2. Here's the Linux version: $ uname -a Linux euxconnlx 2.6.9-103.EL.msdw.1largesmp #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 13:34:16 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I don't have root access here, so I'm not able to run the debuginfo-install command. I had a look around for debugging versions of these libraries, with no success. Building them myself is a last resort, but this would take a lot of time, which is something I'm afraid I don't have right now! I'm sorry if that's not much help. If you're unable to investigate further without the debugging stack trace, I completely understand. I think it's the second time that Emacs has crashed on me since about 1988, so I won't be too upset. If the problem does turn out to be recurring, and ideally reproducible, I'll certainly see what I can do to gather more debugging information.
