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 describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
This is the second bug report on the same assertion error.
The first time this bug was reported was for xemacs-21.1 under the
subject line above, and the reply from Stephen Turnbull was that I was
SOL, and should upgrade to 21.4.
I have since upgraded to 21.4.8, where it happened again.
This is using the RedHat compiled version within xemacs-21.4.8-13.i386.rpm
I was scrolling down using <down-arrow> in a gnus *Article* window,
when I hit the bottom, the following happened:
tamsky＠hermes(598)$ Fatal error: assertion failed, file eval.c, line 1885, abort()
tamsky＠hermes(600)$ gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core
