since compiling and instaliung beta 35 have had numerous core dumps the last few days. happens in different places, a few times in VM (mailer)-- handling a virtual digest, handling a MIME email -- once while doing font-locking on a python file, each time the latest WindowMaker (0.62.1) starts up and subsequently autostarts an xemacs (core dump), once when typing 'b' in bbdb to lookup email address, etc. 4 random backtraces and config follow. i can recompile with '-g' if symboling is needed.... the backtraces report similar sequences of events, except for the 4-th, which was for the bbdb core dump. les schaffer p.s. i __think__ maybe this happens each time a garbage collect occurs.... that green recycle icon is burned in my memory on these dumps. =============== bt 1 ============= (gustav)~/: gdb xemacs core Core was generated by `xemacs'.
