Re: [Bug: 21.4.15] xemacs crashes in default mode on new FC4 install

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I just upgraded my system to FC4 and even when hiding all my prior config files from FC3, Xemacs core dumps and exits when trying to syntax highlight a file. The lisp back-trace is included below. The C Stack-backtrace produced no data ("no stack"). A web search indicates this is a known (or becoming known) problem with Xemacs on FC4 systems.

Hope all this helps. Lisp backtrace follows: dispatch-non-command-events() # (condition-case ... . ((nil))) progress-feedback-dispatch-non-command-events() # bind (ext gutter-string val zmacs-region-stays inhibit-read-only frame value message) raw-append-progress-feedback("Fontifying Opening.Day.06-14-590.tex...
