Latest 21.2. Please fix. Looks like a Ben bug. xemacs -vanilla -q C-x C-f RET ~/.emacs RET Modify buffer. Use the Revert Buffer menu entry in the File menu. A dialog box appears with the entries "%_Yes" "%_No" "%_Cancel". No matter which is selected, I get "please answer the dialog box". Worse, the error won't go away. It still thinks there's a dialog box to answer. Even worse, this behavior is non-quittable. C-g has no effect (here there is a difference - Solaris (with motif dialogs) is non-quittable, while on Linux with Athena dialogs, at least C-g gives me back a working XEmacs. Coredumping this xemacs via SIGQUIT gives: next-command-event(#<empty-event>) byte-code("..."
