Subject: Segmentation fault of GNU Emacs 21.3.1
Date: 23 Oct 2007 10:49:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <hd7ile9pwk.fsf@fantasymail.de> (raw)
Hi all,
today is one of the unlucky ones: My Emacs crashed! I'd never had such
behaviour before, Emacs kept always out of mischief, but with this
Emacs I sometimes - rarely - get a crash. :-(
It's the Emacs on my office PC installed from a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 WS:

Is there any change to get more information out off this core dump or in
future without using a debug version of emacs by installing the sources
compiling with debug flags?
Is this eventually a well known bug in emacs 21.3?
Regards
Jochen.
