Hallo I have a problem with xemacs 21.5 When running in LaTeX mode (editing files with name foo.tex) the option to change fontsize (options -> fontsize -> choose) crashes the process, with the following output on terminal screen: ================================================= Fatal Error: Received SIGSEGV (11) for address 0x8 WARNING: Unable to auto-save your files properly. Some or all may in fact have been auto-saved. Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If that won't work, send ordinary email to `xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org&#39;. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently, the file `Installation' in the top of the build tree). *Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.) If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited') in case of future recurrance of the crash. Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (condition-case ... . t) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) specifier-instance(#<font-specifier global=<unspecified>Segmentation fault ========================================== M-x describe-installation: uname -a: Linux albeniz 2.6.18 #1 SMP Tue Nov 21 12:59:21 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ./configure 'x86_64-suse-linux' '--with-gcc' '--with-dynamic' '--with-debug' '--enable-error-checking=none' '--with-cflags=-O2 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -Wall -Wno-switch -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -DLDAP_DEPRECATED ' '--with-ldflags=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--with-archlibdir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.5.27.20060705/x86_64-suse-linux' '--with-docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.5.27.20060705/x86_64-suse-linux' '--with-lispdir=/usr/share/xemacs/21.5.27.20060705/lisp' '--with-etcdir=/usr/share/xemacs/21.5.27.20060705/etc' '--with-statedir=/var/lib/xemacs' '--with-moduledir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.5.27.20060705/x86_64-suse-linux/modules' '--infodir=/usr/share/xemacs/info' '--mandir=/usr/share/man/man1' '--enable-database=gdbm,berkdb' '--with-ncurses' '--with-canna' '--with-tty=yes' '--with-site-lisp' '--with-mc-alloc' '--with-kkcc' '--with-newgc' '--enable-sound=native' '--with-gpm' '--enable-pdump' '--disable-dump-in-exe c' '--with-xpm' '--with-gif' '--with-tiff' '--with-jpeg' '--with-png' '--with-x' '--with-athena=3d' '--enable--menubars=lucid' '--enable-scrollbars=lucid' '--enable-dialogs=athena' '--enable-widgets=athena' '--x-includes=/usr/include' '--x-libraries=/usr/lib64' '--enable-mule' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--enable-clash-detection' '--with-ldap' '--with-pop' 'build_alias=x86_64-suse-linux' 'host_alias=x86_64-suse-linux' 'target_alias=x86_64-suse-linux' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -Wall -Wno-switch -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -DLDAP_DEPRECATED ' 'LDFLAGS=' XEmacs 21.5-b27 "fiddleheads" (+CVS-20060704) configured for `x86_64-suse-linux'.
