Of course, I'm sure I don't stress it as much as the primary release engineer. :-) I didn't compile with egcs-1.1.2. I can try that if you think it will make a difference. While trying to diagnose the problem, I discoved that 20.4 would infloop if configured with MULE, so it doesn't seem like it's a recently introduced problem. I'll be happy to try and help if I can. I know nothing about xemacs internals, so be gentle.
