I'm logged into a machine across the room with ssh, and compiled XEmacs 21.2 there. It starts fine with -nw, but seg faults when I try to let it open on the X server in front of me. Here's a paste-in of the `where'. #0 0x401a93b5 in () #1 0x8135c22 in Xatoms_of_xselect (d=0x8260bd0) at select-x.c:1740 #2 0x81238b5 in x_init_device (d=0x8260bd0, props=136231156) at device-x.c:731 #3 0x8069c50 in Fmake_device (type=136353092, connection=136231156, props=136231156) at device.c:581 #4 0x807a6ad in Ffuncall (nargs=3, args=0xbffff594) at eval.c:3189 #5 0x8059f5e in execute_optimized_program (program=0x8270554 "ÀÁ\n\"\207", stack_depth=3, constants_data=0x82a5b38) at bytecode.c:748 (I think that's the relevant section.) I do not know how to fix it. Hope someone will.
