Here are my results from native Windows Land.

On my first try I start xemacs via eshell from another 21.4.19 XEmacs.

The XEmacs with the eshell crashes :-)

Here's the Backtrace:

When starting XEmacs from a DOS promt with

xemacs -vanilla -eval "(progn (setq debug-on-signal t) (require 'vc-hooks))" c:\foo\foo.txt
that XEmacs does not crash, but the top-gutter area is not drawn,
instead that area flickers with cursor displayed there.

C-g (keyboard-quit)
leads following Backtrace repeatably:

Same basic problem in 21.5-b26:

No problem in either XEmacs when entering foo.txt.

SVN-2 is displayed in modeline.

Hope this helps!
