This looks like a self-built XEmacs on a modern Linux (ie, one that

build a memory image and then unexec it (Emacs and maybe a few other

recent lds.
Try ./configure --prefix=/usr --ldflags='-z nocombreloc'.
The winner! That suggestion worked like a champ!
And your diagnosis was right, too.

I think that is now in the `gnats' package. Thanks for mentioning
this; we'll fix the crash message in future releases.

I see Adrian already answered; for completeness, M-x report-xemacs-bug.
Actually, it turns out that this doesn't work, either. I tried this
and M-x report-xemacs-bug wasn't there. Adrian reports that it comes
in the net-utils package, which seems not to be in efs or xemacs-base
(or I did something wrong). So this didn't work for me, either....
Thanks very much to all of you!

You built it in your home directory, right (ie, this is not the
Mandrake-distributed RPM)? You may want to look at the RPM spec from
Mandrake for hints about preferred configure options, C and ld flags,
on your platform.
Yes, I did. The Mandrake-distributed RPM doesn't properly do package
updates, because of something funny in its efs.
I will try to figure out how to help them fix that.
Best,

Urk. That's bad; we need to fix that, too. Minimal bug reporting
functionality should be in core! Thanks, again.

They probably have a Kerberos-enabled FTP client. Add the Kerberos-
defeating flag to `efs-ftp-program-args' (usually it's "-g" IIRC).
For Mandrake, site-start.el is a good place, I think. (Rather than
default.el. If you use a session manager like desktop.el, then your
init.el may try to access remote files before default.el gets loaded.)

I whole heartily agree. And unless somebody beats me to it (hint hint
hint), I'll see what I can do about it in a couple of week's time.
