Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. If you have access to the PROBLEMS file that came with your version of XEmacs, please check to see if your crash is described there, as there may be a workaround available. Otherwise, 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 /home/tonyl/loc/bin/xemacs-21.2-b36 core xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection) Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003a Serial number of failed request: 385 Current serial number in output stream: 297 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003c Serial number of failed request: 401 Current serial number in output stream: 318 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 76 (X_ImageText8) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003c Serial number of failed request: 402 Current serial number in output stream: 318 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003d Serial number of failed request: 403 Current serial number in output stream: 318 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 76 (X_ImageText8) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003d Serial number of failed request: 404 Current serial number in output stream: 318 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003e Serial number of failed request: 405 Current serial number in output stream: 318 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 76 (X_ImageText8) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003c Serial number of failed request: 407 Current serial number in output stream: 318 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0xcc0003f Serial number of failed request: 413 Current serial number in output stream: 324 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: 0 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: 0 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Serial number of failed request: 75 Current serial number in output stream: 349 xemacs-21.2-b36: X Error of failed request: 0 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Serial number of failed request: 75 Current serial number in output stream: 349 Serial number of failed request: 75 Current serial number in output stream: 325
