This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I just upgraded to RedHat 7.3. The (redhat rpm) installed version of xemacs 21.4.6 runs fine. Under all previous RH versions, including 7.2 two days ago, everything compiled and ran just fine. However, if I try to compile my own version under 7.3, it only runs with '-nw'. Under X, it crashes immediately with the message: - Lisp backtrace follows: # bind (frame-being-created) make-frame(nil #<x-device on ":0.0" 0x1deb>) frame-initialize() # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left) command-line() # (unwind-protect ...) normal-top-level() # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...) After some correspondance with Stephen Turnbull, I tried -z nocombreloc and --pdump; neither worked. A full backtrace is attached ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux nukat 2.4.18-3 #1 Thu Apr 18 07:37:53 EDT 2002 i686 unknown ./configure '--pdump' XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
