We finally moved over to 2.7 here, and I rebuilt 21.2-b19 on Solaris 2.7 with gcc 2.7.2.2. See the attached Installation file for specifics. I got the following crash while trying to view a new message in VM. VM was displaying an html message, I think, when it crashed. The lisp and C tracebacks are given below. I tried to view the message just now, and it shows up just fine.
