Unfortunately that period is both long and contained some quite
substantial low-level rewrites by ben.
I understand from the backtrace that can run XEmacs under a debugger.
Then do the following
1. Make sure you have a full debugging and error checking XEmacs (as
is default in the beta builds).
2. Run XEmacs under the debugger.
3. Just before executing the command that triggers the crash break
into the debugger and set the global variable always_gc=1.
I run into gdb on cygwin issues here:
(gdb) print always_gc
$1 = 229
(gdb) set always_gc=1
(gdb) print always_gc
$1 = 229
Hmmm. So I edited eval.c, set
int always_gc = 1;
and rebuilt.
[XEmacs will be come reaaaaaaaally slow at this point.
It certainly took longer to dump. :-)
4. Do the problematic command.
XEmacs will hopefull crash more predictably now & closer to the real
point. Try to get C & lisp back traces.
The C back trace looks like:
