I was not used to such things by emacs, until I got this GNU Emacs 21.3.1 from RHEL 4. At the behest of this news groupe I updated to GNU Emacs 22.1.1 at the 31th of october and every thins seems to be fine. But today I got ie again. It was just, when I selected "Postscript Print Buffer (B+W)" from the menu. (The printout was not started.) But this time I got a usable core-dump, I thought. But am I right? Look at this, it seems to be the interessting part of the dump: #18 #19 0x0812d0a9 in mem_delete (z=Variable "z" is not available. ) at alloc.c:3940 #20 0x0812d30e in lisp_free (block=0x9621708) at alloc.c:893 #21 0x08131386 in Fgarbage_collect () at alloc.c:6259 #22 0x0816c992 in Fbyte_code (bytestr=136141291, vector=136141308, maxdepth=48) at bytecode.c:724 Obviously the crash happened during a garbage collection. But at line 3940 of file alloc.c there is not routine "mem_delete". There is "mem_delete_fixup"... So it's no surprise when gdb says: z=Variable "z" is not available. Seeking for advice: How can I help to fix things here? Regards Jochen -- "Who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will loose both in the end."
