When I compile CVS from Mar 13 (21.5.b11), I get a bus error near the end of the Make sequence caused by the line ./xemacs -no-packages -batch -no-autoloads -l update-elc-2.el -f batch-update-elc-2 /usr/local/sbin/xemacs/src/../lisp The CVS 20030312 does not have the error. Here is my build script: #!/bin/sh XEMACSDEBUG="(setq stack-trace-on-error t)" export XEMACSDEBUG ./configure --with-mule --with-widgets=athena --with-xfs --with-dialogs=athena --error-checking=none --debug=no \ --package-path=/usr/local/sbin/xemacs/lib --prefix=/usr/local/sbin/xemacs \ --with-prefix --with-sound=no --cflags=-O2 --pdump --with-ldap=no My system is PPC OS X with X11. Here is all the crash information that XEmacs provided, looks like latin-unity could be to blame: Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # bind (path handler filename nosuffix nomessage noerror file) load("cl-macs" nil t) byte-code("..."
