Re: [Bug: 21.4.17] crash under AMD64

Dale> #104 0x000000000044b413 in garbage_collect_1 () *sigh* backtraces in garbage collection from stripped binaries are dead useless. :-( If you can get debugging symbols from Debian (I don't know whether they provide such a package, but I know it's theoretically possible), and gives a backtrace with the symbols present, that would be a big help. If not, it would be helpful if you could rebuild from the debian source package with the --debug configure option, and stripping turned off in debian/rules, if that's possible for you. Then we'd have a much better shot at diagnosing this the next time. Also, these shadows: (/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnus/yenc /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnus/yenc are very strange. Could you take a look at those directories and see why the same library is getting reported twice? This is Debian lossage, and very dangerous because of incompatibilities in the byte-compiler: /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/debian-startup /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnus/gnus-load /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus/lisp/gnus-load We've told the debian maintainers about this, but they evidently hadn't fixed it by the time you installed your XEmacs. This is scary: /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/gnuserv/gnuserv /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.17/lisp/gnuserv I have no idea why they are distributing a separate gnuserv when it's standard in XEmacs, and has been for ages. Dale> /usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages/lisp/build/build-report Dale> /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.17/lisp/build-report) This is normal. We haven't figured out quite what to do about it yet, and it should be harmless. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
