I was merrily reading my mail with vm, using w3 to render HTML, when xemacs keeled over. Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce the crash, but I have the core. Stack trace and Installation follow: I'm not familiar with the XEmacs gif code, I can't find any crashes in DGifSlurp in the archives. The offending line appears to be do { ===> if (AddExtensionBlock(sp, ExtData[0], ExtData+1) == GIF_ERROR) GifInternError(GifFile, D_GIF_ERR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEM); DGifGetExtensionNext(GifFile, &ExtData); } while (ExtData != NULL); If there's anything else I can do to narrow this down, please let me know; meanwhile I'll try to make it happen again (and maybe I'll build xemacs with -g...)
