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!
XEmacs 21.1.10 dumped core while reading a webpage using w3
(incidentally the xemacs-beta mailing list archive). First my machine
came to a virtual halt and running 'top' showed my machine working 50%
under interrupt context. After about a couple of minutes in that
state, xemacs crashed and dumped core. I ran gdb on the core and the
executable (I have the source code also) and the backtrace shows a
stack 4480 functions deep. I realize xemacs is a complex piece of
software but function calls 4480 deep is a bit too complex and it
looks more like infinite recursive function calls. I have a script
file that captured the gdb session with all the 4480 (and more, but I
quit after some time) functions on the stack. The reason for the crash
is signal 4, Illegal instruction. I have attached the script file. Is
there anything else that I can do to help? Maybe upgrade?
