Xemacs `alarm' implementation used `#ifdef HAVE_SETITIMER' causes assert failures, at least when `alarm' is called from socks5 library (when running `runsocks xemacs'). It appears that every call of standard library function requires "disabling polling" (calling `stop_async_timeouts'). Is there a better solution? #3 0x080c2ec1 in assert_failed ( file=0x82b5580 "/home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/signal.c", line=338, expr=0x82b5560 "async_timer_suppress_count > 0") at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/emacs.c:3429 #4 0x081e2419 in alarm (howlong=0) at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/signal.c:338 #5 0x405be35b in getutline_r_file (line=0xbfffc740, buffer=0xbfffc5c0, result=0xbfffc5bc) at ../sysdeps/generic/utmp_file.c:321 #6 0x405bdb31 in __getutline_r (line=0xbfffc740, buffer=0xbfffc5c0, result=0xbfffc5bc) at getutline_r.c:43 #7 0x40560bb5 in getlogin () at ../sysdeps/unix/getlogin.c:56 #8 0x400320e7 in lsEffUser () at ../../d-fens/socks5-v1.0r10/shlib/../lib/protocol.c:68 #9 0x40041b52 in lsLibProtoExchg (fd=7, rsin=0x8447ce0, command=3 '\003') at ../../d-fens/socks5-v1.0r10/shlib/../lib/libproto.c:133 #10 0x4003ec3c in lsUdpConnect (sd=7, name=0x8447ce0, namelen=28) at ../../d-fens/socks5-v1.0r10/shlib/../lib/wrap_udp.c:159 #11 0x4003ae1c in connect (sd=7, name=0x8447ce0, namelen=28) at ../../d-fens/socks5-v1.0r10/shlib/../lib/wrap.c:79 #12 0x407adb36 in send_dg (statp=0x405e3080, buf=0xbfffd110 "~~\001", buflen=33, ans=0xbfffe260 "\003", anssiz=1024, terrno=0xbfffd0c0, ns=0, v_circuit=0xbfffd0b8, gotsomewhere=0xbfffd0bc) at res_send.c:902 #13 0x407acb73 in __res_nsend (statp=0x405e3080, buf=0xbfffd110 "~~\001", buflen=33, ans=0xbfffe260 "\003", anssiz=1024) at res_send.c:569 #14 0x407abf1b in __res_nquery (statp=0x405e3080, name=0xbfffd570 "d-fens.vdata.ru", class=1, type=1, answer=0xbfffe260 "\003", anslen=1024) at res_query.c:132 #15 0x407ac5e0 in __res_nquerydomain (statp=0x405e3080, name=0xbfffec90 "d-fens", domain=0x405e30e0 "vdata.ru", class=1, type=1, answer=0xbfffe260 "\003", anslen=1024) at res_query.c:363 #16 0x407ac261 in __res_nsearch (statp=0x405e3080, name=0xbfffec90 "d-fens", class=1, type=1, answer=0xbfffe260 "\003", anslen=1024) at res_query.c:238 #17 0x40abf314 in _nss_dns_gethostbyname2_r (name=0xbfffec90 "d-fens", af=2, result=0xbfffebf0, buffer=0xbfffe6e0 "~~~\022", buflen=1024, errnop=0x405df380, h_errnop=0xbfffeba8) at nss_dns/dns-host.c:171 #18 0x405a572e in __gethostbyname2_r (name=0xbfffec90 "d-fens", af=2, resbuf=0xbfffebf0, buffer=0xbfffe6e0 "~~~\022", buflen=1024, result=0xbfffebac, h_errnop=0xbfffeba8) at ../nss/getXXbyYY_r.c:200 #19 0x4057d535 in gaih_inet (name=0xbfffec90 "d-fens", service=0x0, req=0xbfffecd0, pai=0xbfffec54) at ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:516 #20 0x4057e284 in getaddrinfo (name=0xbfffec90 "d-fens", service=0x0, hints=0xbfffecd0, pai=0xbfffecbc) at ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:759 #21 0x08119d16 in unix_canonicalize_host_name (host=139060572) at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/process-unix.c:1608 #22 0x081ada85 in canonicalize_host_name (host=139060572) at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/process.c:823 #23 0x081fca2b in x_canonicalize_console_connection (connection=139060556, errb= {really_unlikely_name_to_have_accidentally_in_a_non_errb_structure = 42}) at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/console-x.c:239 #24 0x081fcc1c in x_canonicalize_device_connection (connection=139060524, errb= {really_unlikely_name_to_have_accidentally_in_a_non_errb_structure = 42}) at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/console-x.c:294 #25 0x080b126c in Ffind_device (connection=1082081324, type=1082062892) at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/device.c:405 #26 0x080b13e2 in Fmake_device (type=1082062892, connection=1082081324, props=1082081324) at /home/gin/share/xemacs-local-21.4/src/device.c:562 make-device(x nil) # bind (display) make-x-device(nil) init-x-win() # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left) command-line() # (condition-case ... .
