Re: xemacs-21.1.14 Revet Buffer on HP-UX 11.0 causes core dump

If you compiled with optimization, try getting the latest HP ANSI C compiler. There probably aren't any major compiler optimizer bugs in 11.XX, but the early 10.20 compilers were problematic. It's probably worth a try upgrading. * You might want to compile with -g (debug). The stack trace you provided really isn't useful, aside from the fact that the crash appears to be in some shared library. Your stack trace contains no symbol information whatsoever, which is usually indicative of a stripped binary, a hopelessly corrupted stack, or an old/buggy debugger. [ For that matter, you're using a really old version of wildebeest, and you really should upgrade). Wildebeest 3.0 entered beta at the end of July, and should be released "soon". ] * A long shot is the X11 libraries. I don't know about 11.XX, but you really needed to patch the HP-UX 10.XX and 9.XX X11 libraries. All sorts of strange problems would occur, otherwise. * You probably didn't do this (as the symptoms are different), but you didn't enable native sound, right? The HP-UX audio library drags in the dce library, which is incompatible with XEmacs. There is no workaround for this, aside from not using native sound. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo(a)soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
