Anybody seen this one? pdump, maybe? Four times in the last couple of days. All I do in this XEmacs these days is run VM. There feels like there's a pattern, but I can't put my finger on it (something about a switching to or from a shell buffer, maybe while running a command). My Lisp may be somewhat bogus, my packages were updated a while ago and I know my VM is complaining about .els more recent than elcs. I'm afraid to update or the crash will go away....
