This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,

In XEmacs 21.0 "20 minutes to Nikko" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1) of Fri Apr
9 1999 on brabham

and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I was editing a gnats PR from within xemacs when the crash happened. It was
about the 10th consecutive one I had done, ie there were no problems with the
prior ones.
No core file was produced since I have disabled this.

Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included
with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu.
As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'.
*MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command
M-x describe-installation.
If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the
directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home
directory), and type
gdb /app_share/xemacs/21.0.67/bin/xemacs core
then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of
these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
