Several actually. Alas, they produce no core files so no C backtraces. Slightly interesting parts of the crash message were: Fatal error (6). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. [...] Lisp backtrace follows: # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...) That's it. The only other clue I have is that it *may* have be related to running a function through gnuserve (i.e. "gnuclient -batch -f") but I'm not completely certain of that correlation yet.

Why won't this work? 23 years

Adam Duck

Dear XEmacs-team, I have programmed this snipplet: (start-process "mp3-play" nil "rundll32.exe" (concat "shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLLA " "*somefile*.mp3")) This command works well from the command line, but from within my (emacs-version) "XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6) \"Common Lisp (Windows)\" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32, Mule) of Thu Jan 17 2002 on CHELSEA" it won't ... So, am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? I'd rather not depend on shellex.exe and since start.exe doesn't exist in WinXP I'd like to have this solution. Bye.

21.4.6 hangs... 23 years

Gary Beckmann

Folks, this isn't my clipboard hang I reported April 2. I believe that has been "solved" by turning off clipboard use in the killing customize page. This xemacs session had been running for a few days with lots of edits/compile/debug cycles and a few CVS checkins, using ediff, etc. When I went to the terminal window to kill xemacs I found a lot X11 errors which I'll attach at the end of this message. Here is the backtrace xemacs gave me. Lisp backtrace follows: make-font-instance("-*-courier-medium-i-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" #<x-device on "rules:0.0" 0x1d49> t) # bind (device name) try-font-name("-*-courier-medium-i-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" #<x-device on "rules:0.0" 0x1d49>) # bind (device font) x-make-font-italic(#<font-instance "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" on #<x-device on "rules:0.0" 0x1d49> 0x580000f 0x1d63> #<x-device on "rules:0.0" 0x1d49>) # bind (sp-inst tag-set inst-pair first-valid result func inst-list device sp) frob-face-property-1(#<font-specifier global=((x) .

pdump hosed in 21.5? 23 years

Builf of 21.5.6 with gtk fails 23 years

Meinhard E. Mayer

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I tried building 21.5.6 with the follwoing configuration: /configure --ldflags=-s --pdump --with-gtk --with-gnome--error-checking=no --with-sound=native --debug=no and got the follwing compilation

E-Mail Divorce Ruled Unlawful In Alexandria Court 23 years

Charles Waldman

Washington, DC (news agencies) - In Islam, when a man utters the words "I divorce you" three times, then he is divorced according to family law. However, the New York Times reported that a court in Alexandria, Egypt has ruled that uttering the same statement in a written e-mail message cannot bring divorce between a man and his wife. This issue recently came about in a case that involved a woman who remarried after receiving an e-mail divorce message from her first husband, who after the fact, changed his mind and demanded that she come back to him. The judge in the Alexandria court, after spending time deciding the proper ruling for this case, eventually ruled that Islam does not accept electronic documents as evidence for divorce.

beta/experimental/packages/ empty? 23 years

Nevin Kapur

I wanted to try out the mmm-mode package in Pre-releases. It looks like the beta/experimental/packages/ directory on ftp.xemacs.org is empty. I tried a few mirrors and all of them seem to have this directory as empty. -- :: Nevin :: nevin(a)jhu.edu ::
