I am running the unstable (hamm) distribution of Debian. According to dselect my libraries etc. are up-to-date with those available in the distributions hamm, hamm/contrib, and hamm/non-free on ftp.debian.org.
At some point in the last few weeks, xemacs-19.15 started segfaulting and dumping core during the start-up for me. If I twiddle my ~/.emacs file and delete things like (display-time) I can get it to start but it soon dies. The behaviour seems to be related to loading files. I just re-installed the package xemacs19_19.15-3.1.deb to see if that would help but it didn't. Interestingly I am able to run this program on my home Debian system which is also running the hamm distribution. I enclose part of the dump and an indication of which libraries are used. I would appreciate suggestions of what to change. $ ldd /usr/bin/xemacs-19.15 libXaw.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d/libXaw.so.6 (0x4000b000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x4005d000) libcompface.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcompface.so.1 (0x4006a000) libpng.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.1 (0x40075000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x4008b000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4009d000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x400df000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x400e8000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x400fd000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40108000) libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0 (0x401a6000) libdb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdb.so.1 (0x401e2000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x401f1000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x401fa000) $ xemacs Fatal error (11).
