I put the cursor on a man page in dired and pushed `l' to run my `dired-man-locally' function. It said "loading man", and the minibuffer kind of flickered, l ike it was printing the message over and over for a while or something. Then it crashed. With or without `-vanilla', if I go straight to the directory where the man pages are and use `dired-man-locally', it will crash. But if I view a man page first, with `M-x man', or just `M-x load-library man', then go there and use `l', it works fine. It does the same thing no matter which of the two `man.el' versions I try it with. (One is the default, the other is a slightly modified copy of the GNU Emacs `man.el'.) This is the same copy and build of XEmacs for which I posted the popup menu crash earlier today. (defun dired-man-locally () (interactive) (if (= 1 (function-max-args #'manual-entry)) (manual-entry (concat (dired-get-filename) " -l")) (manual-entry (dired-get-filename) "-l"))) (add-hook 'dired-setup-keys-hook #'(lambda () (define-key dired-mode-map [(?l)] #'dired-man-locally))) Lisp backtrace follows: # bind (print-message-label) display-error((invalid-function zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) xemacs bittersweet% gdb xemacs core GNU gdb 19990928 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
