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. In XEmacs 21.0 "20 minutes to Nikko" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.6) of Thu May 6 1999 on licia.dtek.chalmers.se configured using `configure --prefix=/usr/pd/gnu/xemacs' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Actions taken were: Reading news in alt.fan.pratchett with gnus, version 5.6.45. On one article, it just stopped with an error message »Wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window on "*Summary alt.fan.pratchett*" 0x90c> After that, I can't really do anything that won't kill XEmacs.
