Immediately upon starting it complains: This is Debian's fault most likely. They simply substitute Xaw3d for Xaw although they are _not_ binary compatible if there are any 3d widget extensions used (such as the progress bar). The "different size" messages are characteristic of this problem. Use --with-widgets=athena --with-athena=3d to get support for Xaw3d, NExTaw and something else are also supported, I believe.

Michael> Stephen, I've been experiencing a progress bar crash for Michael> some time and had hopes this was the cure (I'm running Michael> Debian unstable). I upgraded to the latest xaw3dg-dev Michael> and nextaw packages and switched to athena=3d from Michael> athena=next. As soon as I open a file requiring Michael> fontification, same result as before (see below). OK, according to Installation, you've got configure right, and that is definitely a crash. However ... I see you've got ESD support. Do you use ESD? It is known to do some things with interrupts that don't agree with XEmacs (or something, I forget the details). There was one crash with merely xemacs -vanilla, M-: all-hail-xemacs RET -- which IIRC went away when ESD was turned off. I seem to recall an association with progress bar crashes, too, but that may just be wishful thinking. I'll try and get the thread but you might just try configuring --with-sound=native, and see if the crashes go away. Michael> This problem will go away for me when the GTK stuff Michael> catches up with 21.1, which I'm using full-time. Using Well, that won't happen in the 21.4 series; GTK is "experimental", so potentially destabilizing changes outside of #ifdef HAVE_GTK won't be allowed. I'll take what changes I can that don't "leak" out of the conditional, but ... good luck with 21.5! -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?

SJT> OK. The trace will be very helpful, but I don't see anything SJT> obvious offhand. You'll just have to disable the progress SJT> bar widget, for now. Okay, I tried this on a different machine with a fresh install of Progeny Debian (woody-based) configured for athena=3d. This gives me the actual athena3d widgets, and I can't make it crash (Installation attached). Building then with athena=next I get the neXtaw widgets and am able to reproduce the crash (described below) that I get on my Debian sid (unstable) machine. Also attached are the Installation and C backtrace from the crash on both machines. The neXtaw crash: In the shell window where I've started XEmacs, I get a bunch of these messages while the progress bar's being drawn: xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 66 (X_PolySegment) Resource id in failed request: 0x1000022 Serial number of failed request: 6121 Current serial number in output stream: 6121 ...but no crash. Then next time the file dialog opens (also noticed for some other toolbar/menubar picks), crash. No lisp backtrace.

I don't _know_ of any bugs, but I've found it impossible to eliminate the sign-compare warnings without a complete rework.

See http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/Public-21.2/bugstatus.html. IIRC it's the first one under Critical. That document needs updating, mea culpa....
