I used the same `configure' command as I had done (successfully) for 21.2-b13, but got a segmentation fault when `Testing for Lisp shadows'.

If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /afs/nd.edu/user4/jpalmier/silly/transfers/xemacs-21.2.14/src/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
