Thank you for your report.  While there's not enough information here
to diagnose your crash, I can say that a couple of bugs were fixed in
the last few months, and recommend upgrading the most recent available
version (at this writing 21.4.19).

If possible, when you do, please build XEmacs with the symbol table
(cc -g and not stripped, the default configuration on all platforms as
far as I know).  C backtraces in stripped binaries are almost useless
unless you have access to the executable and the host on which the
backtrace was produced, and even then analysis is very painful.

Also, you say you were trying to edit faces, but the Lisp backtrace
seems to indicate that XEmacs was in the process of making an SQL
request when it crashed.  (See below.)  Does that make any sense to
you?  Had you been interacting with an SQL server before trying to
edit faces?

Regards,
Steve
