This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I think I traced the problem to the fact that ispell has been replaced by aspell, and ispell has become just a compatibility script. When I kill the hung ispell process (with C-g) the core dumped comes from aspell-libc6 problems. Here is the gdb output: Core was generated by `aspell -a -m -B'. Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted. Reading symbols from /usr/lib/libaspell.so.10...done.
