Could you create a backtrace, please? (using gdb and/or lctrace/strace).
Thanks.

Comment 4 Mike Fabian 2005-12-30 17:09:14 UTC

I cannot reproduce this. Neither with xemacs-21.5.22 nor with xemacs-21.5.24.

Can you please try whether you can still reproduce the problem with
the updated rpms for xemacs and xemacs-packages in

    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/10.0

?

Comment 5 Mike Fabian 2006-03-21 16:23:56 UTC

With XEmacs 21.5.25, I still cannot reproduce a crash. But I see
the following problem:

M-x show-message-log RET

Comment 7 August Hörandl 2006-03-27 21:08:37 UTC

some effect with:
xemacs-packages-20051208-9.1.noarch.rpm
xemacs-packages-el-20051208-9.1.noarch.rpm

Comment 8 Mike Fabian 2006-04-04 16:04:44 UTC

Although I could never reproduce the crash you reported, I could
reproduce some strange problems as written in comment #5.

But after updating to xemacs-21.5.25.20060327 and
xemacs-packages--20051208-11.1 I cannot reproduce this either.

Opening and viewing tar.gz and tar.bz2 files with XEmacs works
fine for me now.

Please try again with the latest packages
for xemacs and xemacs-packages from

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/10.0

I'm closing this bug as FIXED now, please reopen if problems remain.
