Xemacs bug??

[Aidan Kehoe]

Hi, Randi

Yes, this appears to be an XEmacs bug. To understand what provoked it, we
need details of exactly what version of XEmacs you’re running, and what your
platform. To generate this, type Esc, then x, then report-xemacs-bug, then
enter. This will generate a mail buffer with this information; please send
it on to us. 

This crash happened when you selected a particular font under X11; do you
know if there are any oddities in the fonts available on your system?

Bye,

On the quay of the little Black Sea port, where the rescued pair came once
more into contact with civilization, Dobrinton was bitten by a dog which was
assumed to be mad, though it may only have been indiscriminating. (Saki)
