This is a symptom of the incomplete multilingual support on Microsoft Windows in 21.4. 21.4 doesn't have the Unicode support necessary for multilingual display on that platform; try 21.5 if using a beta version is an option for you. > It crashes and prints out the following message: > > Fatal error: assertion failed, file /usr/src/xemacs-21.4.19/src/redisplay-msw.c, line 563, runs[i].dimension == 1 > Aborted (core dumped) > > > I first saw this bug when I had received some SPAM email containing > Chinese or Japanese characters in it, and was reading the mail using > Gnus.
