RE: Recipe for disaster - reproducible crash - XEmacs-Beta

Wednesday, 16 January 2002

        The crash appears to happen whether or not a Makefile is present. The crash appears to
happen when the subprocess exiting is handled by compilation-sentinal.

I tested this under three conditions - no Makefile, Makefile and make succeeds, and
Makefile and make fails. I get the same crash in all three cases.

Hi Jarl,

do you have a makefile in that directory?

If yes, please send us a minimal version that still exposes the crash.

Best regards,
