Dear Bug Team!

Just had a little crash

Fatal error: assertion failed, file eval.c, line 1489, Attempt to call 
Lisp code from within redisplay without being properly wrapped

Fatal error (6).

Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.

Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may 
describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround.  Please check it first, but do 
report
the crash anyway.

Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting
`Send Bug Report' from the Help menu.  If that won't work, send ordinary
email to `xemacs-beta at xemacs.org'.  *MAKE SURE* to include this entire
output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as
the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently,
the file `Installation' in the top of the build tree).

*Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are 
unlikely
to be able to analyze the problem.  Locate the core file produced as a 
result
of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in
the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type

  gdb /opt/bin/xemacs core

then type `where' at the debugger prompt.  No GDB on your system?  You may
have DBX, or XDB, or SDB.  (Ask your system administrator if you need help.)
If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited')
in case of future recurrance of the crash.

Lisp backtrace follows:

Warning:

Defaulting to the GNU Emacs-derived `sendmail.el' mail client. This 
facility,
while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get
better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without
packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail
clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x
report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly.

To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" ->
"Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the
list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities.

To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly
initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent .
