Unfortunately, it doesn't, still crashes a lot the same way as
before.
However, by chance, I noticed that if I use the new vc package with only
the *.el (not *.elc) present, it doesn't seem to crash. So something's
apparently screwed with byte-compiling it.
I saw that happen with EUDC and the LDAP code a long time ago. Never found the
real cause but noticed that byte-compiling things manually solved the problem.
Maybe there is something wrong going on when byte-compiling during installation
(wrong XEmacs binary selection ?)
Currently I am running the new VC (manually byte-compiled) and I have no
problem at all. I think we should consider promoting it to supported otherwise
it will never be properly tested.
