I don't recognize the symptoms of your crash, so I don't know if it
will help to upgrade.  That's the best I can recommend, however.
Several crashes in various modules and many other defects have been
fixed since 21.4.15.  The current version is 21.4.20.

Unfortunately your back trace provides none of the information about
arguments and source code that we need to effectively debug this kind
of problem.  We plan some work on the relevant module, but with this
information the best we can hope for is that it get fixed en passant
in the general cleanup.

If you wish to pursue a fix, and you still have the core file, Red Hat
probably provides debug packages for XEmacs that can be used to get a
debug backtrace with all the trimmings.

I'm sorry, but we cannot offer much more support without that.

Regards,
Stephen Turnbull
