In XEmacs 21.0 "Poitou60" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1, Mule) of Fri Dec 18 1998 on y01u538 configured using `configure --prefix=/home/ye/tss/Mercury/gnu/ --with-gcc --with-gnu-make --with-mule --with-workshop --error-checking=none --gung-ho --site-includes=/home/ye/tss/Mercury/gnu/include --site-libraries=/home/ye/tss/Mercury/gnu/lib --with-workshop' I have a file that crashes both 21.0-b54 and 21.0.60 when I open it. Using C-u C-x C-f and specifying 'no-conversion' makes it load OK. I'm attaching various information and the file that makes it crash. Please tell me if there is anything else you need. Thanks for a great editor! /Micke -- Michael Lundkvist ml(a)epact.se Epact Technology AB Error message from XEmacs: Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command M-x describe-installation. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /opt/Mercury/temp/xemacs-21.0.60/src/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
