[ I think this is the same as what Didier reported. ] Dear Bug Team! Running 'M-x display-time' (the mail check and load meter in modeline) causes XEmacs to dump core. With the help of Edebug I was able to track it down to the function 'display-time-convert-num' in time.el. Specifically: '(set-extent-property (car elem) 'balloon-help balloon-help)' Here's the C trace: Current directory is /usr/local/bin/ GNU gdb 5.0 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
