Dear Bug Team! When I attempt to run 'w3m' with the 'tinypath' function of Jari Aalto's Tiny Tools package, XEmacs immdiately dies without a trace. Not even a stack dump. Just disappears from the screen. By doing this many times I made out a minibuffer message just before it dies: ad-handle-definition, "require" got redefined So I set "ad-redefinition-action" to "accept", and managed to get this backtrace. Unfortunately I don't have the expertise to take it much further than this. It looks like it it's coming from "poe.el", part of the APEL package (BTW it happens with the standard XEmacs apel package, but this backtrace comes from the newer 10.3 version of APEL). Has anyone seen this before? It makes me nervous.
