================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I am running the latest CVS (as of this morning) plus my pending lwlib
patch on an x86_64 platform. I was viewing a text document and hit
Ctrl-Home to go to the top when this crash happened.
Fatal Error: Received SIGSEGV (11) for address 0x8019c
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 at xemacs.org'. *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/local/test/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 ...)
("(in garbage collection)" "[internal]")
# (unwind-protect ...)
("execute_internal_event()" "[internal]")
(dispatch-event "[internal]")
# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)
Here's the C backtrace:

Contrary to the print statement above, the crash is not due to address
0x8019c. It is due to address 0x10008019c (the value of irdata), which
is 32 bytes past 0x10008017c (the value of the idata parameter in frame
6). This is because the print statement in vdb-posix.c that prints the
addresses prints them as integers. On my platform, integers are 32 bits
and addresses are 64 bits, so the print statement chops off the upper 32
bits.
Note that the idata parameter in frame 6 is already bad: that address is
not accessible in GDB.
GDB and GCC don't seem to like each other very much on this platform
(Fedora Core 5 for x86_64); note all the "is not available" messages in
that backtrace. I can't visit anything meaningful in stack frame 7. I
even compiled with -g3 this time, because I had the same thing happen to
me when compiling with -g, but it does not seem to have helped at all.
A quick test with -O0 -g3 shows that the problem persists even then.
I'll save the core file in case someone can tell me what to do with it.
