I don't know whether this is the same bug or not, but I am seeing some crashing issues with xemacs21-nomule.
It's actually taking my whole machine (? XSession? I can't even ssh in!) down, not just throwing a segfault. I compiled from the ubuntu source, and noticed a bunch of warnings about integer and pointer size mismatches. This reminds me of compiling xemacs from scratch on the old DEC Alpha machines, and I am immediately suspicious about the current 64-bit cleanliness of the codebase. The XEmacs people ("upstream") *claim* to have 64-bit clean code, but that assertion is from several years ago, and there has been much added to the codebase since then (with a relative sparsity of 64 bit machines for testing since the Alphas faded away into obscurity). It's been a long time since I have hacked on XEmacs code so I don't really know where to start looking, but I would personally be looking for something along the lines of architecture dependent definitions of various int and void* types, and then pay particular attention to the compiler warnings to see if the plain old (int) or (void*) casts have architecture-dependent macro substitutions defined for them... -- Xemacs21-mule crashes on 8.04 amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
