Hi folks, A couple of bugs for you :-) The system is RedHat 9 on an Athlon-XP with 512Mb RAM. Initially, I had a crash clicking on a buffer tab. I haven't tried to reproduce it. The second lisp stack trace comes from my attempt to use xemacs to send a bug report. Clicking on Mail->Send did this. I haven't explicitly set up the MTA yet (although my mail address is defined), so perhaps some problems were expected! In RH9, /usr/lib/sendmail is a link to /usr/sbin/sendmail, which is a link to /etc/slternatives/mta. I don't know what 'mta' is. It is not owned by any package, and has no man-page. It appears to be a version of sendmail 8, which is not software I run on my system. Deleting the /usr/lib/sendmail link does not resolve the error. Mail on this machine is normally handled using an SMTP server on my gateway. Filling in the smtp addresses, etc, in Customize doesn't help (i.e. it crashes core-free with the same lisp trace). BUFFER TAB ERROR ================ Fatal error: assertion failed, file gui-x.c, line 284, RECORD_TYPEP (obj, lrecord_type_cons) Fatal error (6). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If that won't work, send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently, the file `Installation' in the top of the build tree). *Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type gdb /usr/local/bin/xemacs core then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.) If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited') in case of future recurrance of the crash. Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...)
