In XEmacs 21.1 (patch 14) "Cuyahoga Valley" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.7) of Thu Aug 2 2001 on taiko configured using `configure --with-gcc --with-gnu-make '--cflags=-R /usr/local/lib' --prefix=/depot/pkg/xemacs-21.1.14' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: 1. start xemacs in a character mode frame (using -nw command switch), 2. make-frame-on-display on an x-server Optional intermediate steps: 2b. Optionally make more frames on the same display 2c. Kill some of the x frames but leave at least one. 2d. Create more frames on the display 3. Kill all frames on the display but keep the character mode (-nw) frame going. 4. Try to make another frame on the display Crash! Why, you may ask, would I want to do such a thing? Well I want to start xemacs -nw under the unix command "screen" so that when my network connection goes away, my Xemacs doesn't (screen keeps it alive.) The following is the output to the screen after core dump, and then the gdb output using the "where" command: (If you see the function "make-remote-xframe" all it does is call make-frame-on-display with the right argument.) Can you let me know if Thanks, Eric Fatal error (11). 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&#39;. *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 /usr/local/bin/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.)
