Hi all -- Long time no bugs. That's good... 21.5.28 has been pretty stable for us! One of our users just reported a problem that causes a segfault though. On Linux, using a non-mule build of 21.5.28: % echo ';; -*-coding: iso-8859-1;-*-' > q.el % xemacs -batch -l q.el Segmentation fault (core dumped) Oops. The backtrace shows what looks to be an infinite loop. Inner and outer sections are shown below. I poked around in some of these functions but they're full of indirections and somewhat hard to follow without context. Before I put a serious effort into debugging this, can anybody suggest a likely cause? #0 0x002d3d5f in _int_malloc () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0x002d30fd in malloc () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #2 0x08086bec in xmalloc (size=120) at alloc.c:390 #3 0x08086d00 in allocate_lisp_storage (size=120) at alloc.c:482 #4 0x08086d48 in old_basic_alloc_lcrecord (size=120, implementation=0x822f5a0) at alloc.c:677 #5 0x08089a20 in alloc_managed_lcrecord (lcrecord_list=160642736) at alloc.c:3084 #6 0x0816020e in Lstream_new (imp=0x8245ba0, mode=0x8224db1 "w") at lstream.c:222 #7 0x080f8e0e in make_coding_stream_1 (stream=0xca1f938, codesys=138022204, mode=0x8224db1 "w", direction=CODING_DECODE, flags=0) at file-coding.c:2110 #8 0x080f8f4a in make_coding_output_stream (stream=0xca1f938, codesys=138022204, direction=CODING_DECODE, flags=0) at file-coding.c:2171 #9 0x080fbbbb in undecided_convert (str=0xca1f630, src=0x9a06610 ";;
