Hallo, I had a problem with a newly built gcc-4.2.2 failing to allocate enough memory for a particular file. So I set an environment variable according to http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/aix4java1.html: LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x80000000 and the file compiled. But when I restarted xemacs, it would crash with the stack trace below. (gdb) #0 0x10244d7c in malloc (size=0) at gmalloc.c:591 #1 0x100065b8 in xmalloc (size=4) at alloc.c:390 #2 0x100026ac in sort_args (argc=1, argv=0x2ff22624) at emacs.c:2777 #3 0x100010d8 in xemacs_21_5_b28_powerpc_ibm_aix5_2_0_0 (argc=1, argv=0x2ff22624, unused_envp=0x0, restart=0) at emacs.c:958 #4 0x10003610 in main (argc=1, argv=0x2ff22624, unused_envp=0x2ff2262c) at emacs.c:3172 (gdb) So I tried to reconfigure and recompile xemacs with LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bmaxdata:0x80000000. But then the dumped-off xemacs would simply not load: tmstaedt＠buildaix3$ ./xemacs -no-packages -batch -no-autoloads -l update-elc-2.el -f batch-update-elc-2 /localbuild/xemacs-21.5.28/src/../lisp Could not load program ./xemacs: Error was: Invalid argument thomas _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
