Fatal error (11). Segmentation Fault

[Kevin A. Peterson]

Hello,
I've noticed a few other postings with this header and was wondering 
if anyone has found the solution. I have recently tried to build 
emacs-21.1 and emacs-20.7 on Solaris 9 and both versions exit with 
same error. Although, no information is lost and I am able to save my 
text I don't believe it should dump core every time. Does anyone know 
if this is a Solaris or an emacs issue? Any help in resolving this 
matter would be a tremendous help. Thanks!

Don't bother with Emacs 20.x or 21.1: the latest official release is
21.4.

And you can install a pre-built Emacs 21.3 for your platform (which is
the same as 21.4 except for a security fix to the movemail utility) with
`pkg-get install emacs`; see http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/pkg-get.html
