No, it doesn't crash when I move the mentioned directories to a subdirectory but it crashes when any (just one is enough) of these packages is stored in the lisp directory. I started xemacs without a file so every time the cus-face package had been loaded. I don't know where it comes from because I couldn't find a package with that name. Do you have an idea what could be wrong? When I look e.g. at the files in "crisp" they are from 2003 and earlier so they haven't been touched in the last update but nevertheless they let xemacs crash. Siegmar
