David, Here's what Martin Buchholz suggests; can you see if you can reproduce the problem in a fresh xemacs-21.1.8?

While I kind of like having AUC TeX code on the background of the XEmacs splash screen, I think Luis' version has a lot more artistic value.

Problems with passwd-erase-buffer 25 years

Matt Tucker

I'm having problems with efs/.netrc under the current CVS code. When XEmacs first attempts to connect to a server using efs, it reads the .netrc file. This process takes upwards of 2 minutes on my system, which did not used to happen. I've narrowed the delay down to the following code (in xemacs-base/passwd.el) which attempts to clear the contents of .netrc from XEmacs's memory in the interests of security: (defun passwd-erase-buffer () ;; First erase the buffer, which will simply enlarge the gap. ;; Then insert null characters until the gap is filled with them ;; to prevent the old text from being visible in core files or kmem. ;; (Actually use 3x the size of the buffer just to be safe - a longer ;; passwd might have been typed and backspaced over.) (interactive) (widen) (let ((s (* (buffer-size) 3))) (erase-buffer) (while (> s 0) (insert ?\000) (setq s (1- s))) (erase-buffer))) The while/insert loop is the limiting factor, and each iteration takes progressively longer as the size of the buffer grows. If I comment out the insert, the loop (as one would expect) is lightning fast. I was wondering whether the following code could be used to replace the while loop, although I expect the answer is "no": (insert (make-string s ?\000)) Otherwise, does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be taking so long? It seems like it might have something to do with font-lock changes I've been making recently, but I tried backing out the changes and compiling a clean CVS version (and I'm fairly certain it wasn't using any of my new code) and got the same behavior.

Adam Van Haren

Note: This message is coming from Steve Youngs. Hey People. If it rains it pours! This morning my hard drive went up in smoke. So I'm sending this to let people know that I will be offline until I replace it. Hopefully, that will only be a week or two (finances are real tight at the moment). In the meantime, if anyone needs to contact me please use this email address (adamvh(a)lubemobile.com.au) and Adam will relay it on to me via telephone. Regards.. Steve Youngs

xemacs core dumps 25 years

Albert Ting

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. In XEmacs 21.2 (beta38) "Peisino,Ak(B" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.6, Mule) of Mon Dec 11 2000 on atom configured using `configure --with-mule --with-clash-detection' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Running bee-mode (a bigloo/scheme programming mode), I get a core dump. No clue why, but it's been like this for the past several versions. Can't tell if it's bee-mode itself, or possibly a font-lock problem. $ gdb /home/alt/src/emacs/xemacs-21.2.38/src/xemacs.full core GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

xemacs_stat 25 years

Ilya N. Golubev

Newer xemacs policy in 21.2.36 and later seems to be always defining and using xemacs_stat() regardless of ENCAPSULATE_STAT setting. This certainly eliminates trouble about how system headers mangled `stat'. But do we really never need to do what used to be done when ENCAPSULATE_STAT is not set?

[Bug #125470] mh on 21.1.8 , SuSE 6.4 , function 'mh-rmail' : ... 25 years

Bug #125470, was updated on 2000-Dec-12 06:29 Here is a current snapshot of the bug. Project: xemacs Category: None Status: Open Resolution: None Bug Group: None Priority: 5 Submitted by: scrivener Assigned to : nobody Summary: mh on 21.1.8 , SuSE 6.4 , function 'mh-rmail' : ... Details: hi. -- platform: xemacs 21.1.8 ; SuSE 6.4 -- i tried running mh-rmail found out that it wanted to use /usr/local/lib/mh/install-mh which !exists, here. 1) that's a strange place for an .?emacs package to expect to find something... 2) it's the mh from either the xe_lisp or xe_exec package that suse has avail. on their ftp for suse 6.4. a) both of those packages have mh-e included. b) and there's no /usr/lib/mh/mh-install in either of 'em 3) might be doing my own follow-up on this (pending the finding of something to trace defun-at-point a bit better than `C-h v` ) --. suse needs to learn something from the dselect developers . search-text-on-gui-canvas is a nice thing, in console or x.
