Hi,
There are quite a lot of people reporting crashes in
skip-syntax-backward, all on Sparc based Systems.
I would be one of them. If the crazy
all-mail-going-out-of-the-company-has-to-pass-through-a-notes-mailer
scheme was working htis week, I sent four on 21.0b57.
We had a discussion about this some time ago and I came to the
conclusion that it is a bug in gcc2.8.1 (and some egcs versions) on
sparc. This shows up if compiled with at least -O2 (which is the
default, isn't it?).
I don't use gcc - I use sun native compiler. Maybe its a sparc-ism no
matter what the compiler.
for details and a crash recipe see:

I will try this at work and followup with results.
