Here is 100% repeatable crash using XEmacs CVS from 2008-06-01. I'm using the standard Solaris X11 libraries. Interestingly, I have an ancient build of X11R6.4 that I did years ago, and when I build the exact same source, but use these libraries instead, I get a working build, as this messsage shows, since I'm using xemacs to send this. Installation file attached. Here is a partial gdb traceback of the crash gdb src/xemacs GNU gdb 6.3 Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
