I just loaded xemacs20 and tried to run it. It fails before any window appears. There is no core dump; this is the error output: ======================================================================= Fatal error: assertion failed, file elhash.c, line 111, gc_in_progress
Fatal error (6). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. *MAKE SURE* to include as much configuration information as possible; at the very least what OS and hardware you are running on, and hopefully also what compiler and compiler options the binary was compiled with, what options XEmacs was compiled with, whether you are using a prebuilt binary from ftp.xemacs.org or compiled XEmacs yourself for your system, etc. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started XEmacs, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
