in December I wrote the following problem in gnu.emacs.bug and RMS asked me to report this to the GDB maintainers. emacs 20.7 crashes sometimes under HP-UX 10.20 every once in a while emacs crashes when I try to use one of the menus (fortunately I don't use them very often). This happens as soon as I click on the menu bar on one of the menu titles. Besides I also noticed that often I have to click 2 or 3 times on one of the menus to open it. When I tried to analyze the core with gdb-5.0 this resulted in another crash: GNU gdb 5.0 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
