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. In XEmacs 21.2 (beta44) "Thalia" [Lucid] (i386-unknown-freebsd4.2, Mule) of Sun Feb 18 2001 on ruby.localdomain configured using `configure --with-mule --site-includes=/usr/local/include --site-libraries=/usr/local/lib' I did a "cvs -up -r release-21-2 this morning." Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: xemacs -vanilla C-h i Kaboom!
