Re: xemacs: segmentation fault after ctrl-xctrl-c
And XEmacs is really crashing for you even if you don't use this 9 packages ? Is there any hint in the *Message-Log* Buffer which lisp file is getting loaded before you press c-x c-c ? 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.

After typing ctrl-xctrl-c I get the output described by Siegmar Gross with the segmentation fault. If I start xemacs with xemacs file.c (file.c exists) the Message Log buffer contains: -- Loading efs-cu... Loading efs-cu...done Loading cc-mode -- When I type the first key of the exit sequence ctrl-xctrl-c the line Loading cc-mode...done is appended to the content of the Message Log. After typing the second key xemacs closes and crashes with the known output. After installation of sumo packages 2004-02-02 the contents of the Message Log buffer are equal as with 2004-08-18 in both cases. The only difference is the proper exit without Fatal error (11) and segmentation fault. Only the usual warning XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list appears twice (as with 2004-08-18). Strange. Any idea? Just try and move /usr/share/xemacs to /usr/share/xemacs.broken and see what happens when you start xemacs. If it's not crashing, just include one package after the other and start xemacs again. I think you get it. Thanks for your support. Best regards Sven Ciao Volker

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to find out this. But maybe the following will be an answer to your question: I start xemacs from bash/xterm command line with xemacs filename.c , xemacs starts up properly. Then I type ctrl-xctrl-c, the xemacs window closes and the error messages occur in the xterm window. I do not have any customizations or anything else configured in xemacs. I'm running it just as installed (in a complete Cygwin installation including all currently (27.09.) available packages). rebasing has definitely nothing to do with the sumo packages, but with the dll's XEmacs is using. For me the crashing behavior comes with installation of 2004-08-18 sumo packages and goes with installation of 2004-02-02. So, your statement tells me, that rebase will not be the tool to remove the exit crash problem. Do you agree? Thank you for your answer. Best regards, Sven
