Actually, installing package "emacs23" works fine, only installing emacs23-nox fails with the above assertion. > Also, it looks like a memory corruption. Have you tried to reboot the > machine?

FYI, this is a loongson2f laptop, so both the kernel and binutils have been patched to work with this kind of machine, and related patches are being review for integration with upstream kernel source.
