I had just done 'C-x C-h C-u M-| gindent" to have GNU indent

After the progress bar went away, XEmacs decided to GC, the GC cursor
popped up, and boom.
Could there be a GC bug in file_truename or some process I/O stuff?
Lately, whenever I get a crash in GC, it seems to be always just after
I've tried to do some kind of I/O like saving the file or auto-saving
the file.
Personally my guess would be that this is related to clash detection,
which seemed to be involved in a number of (your) crashes recently.
Ben fixed a lot of GC bugs in filelock.c, but maybe there are some left...
How do I go about tracking this down?
no idea. I've tried enabling always_gc in lock_file() but that hasn't
yielded any crashes so far.
