[21.5] Random crashes and other hickups

Fri Mar 2 03:47:55 EST 2007

Hi there,

since several versions of 21.5 (most recently 21.5.27), I sometimes
get random crashes which I usually can't reproduce. Quite often,
XEmacs will happily work, but sometimes I switch over to some
other virtual desk and when I come back to XEmacs, I just find it
hanging (i.e. doing nothing, not reacting to any input) or it's just
gone.  I finally got tired and ran XEmacs under gdb for a while until
I finally was able to produce a backtrace. Unfortunately, again I have
no idea what happened, because XEmacs didn't crash as a result from
some interaction (or at least, I'm not aware of which interaction).

Please keep me in CC:, as I'm currently not following xemacs-beta.

Holger
