Please report this to speedbar-bugs(a)xemacs.org or semantic(a)xemacs.org,
which forwards to the maintainer (same guy in each case). (This kind
of alias works[1] for _all_ packages; those packages which do not have
a specific external maintainer will be directed here to xemacs-beta.
There are also -discuss, -patches, and -maintainer aliases available
for all packages.)
We currently have problems with both our CVS repository and
communication with the XEmacs Package Czar, so this is not going to be
addressed by XEmacs quickly. Sorry; we're doing the best we can to
get things back under way. However, the first priority is to catch up
with existing releases; we cannot afford to spend effort fixing
externally maintained packages, as that requires coordination with
upstream anyway.
We would really appreciate it if you would short-circuit the
coordination problem by communicating directly with the upstream
maintainer, and letting us know when they release a fix. Then we can
synch our repository and release with very little fuss.

My suspicion is that semantic expects an overlay (cf fsf-compat) here.

Again, please report upstream. It may be an XEmacs bug, but we do't
have any speedbar expertise available at the moment.

"Installed with"? You mean via the Cygwin netinstaller or the like?
You can find out what our version number is with Tools | Packages |
List and Install from the menubar.
Footnotes:
[1] There is a bug in our forwarding setup; it simply forwards
without munging headers. This gets rejected by many listservs for
"implicit address." Currently, the JDE aliases are known to be broken
in this way.
The fix is simple in principle but to avoid spamming people, I'm
not going to test online. This takes extra time.
