This is with the > latest cvs emacs (checked out this morning.) I get the same behaviour. The CVS from 18th May was OK, that from 19th May is not. Here's the start of a backtrace: #0 abort () at emacs.c:413 #1 0x080b0de7 in realize_default_face (f=0x8c6fa00) at xfaces.c:6597 #2 0x080b0c4b in realize_basic_faces (f=0x8c6fa00) at xfaces.c:6549 #3 0x080a8a36 in init_frame_faces (f=0x8c6fa00) at xfaces.c:909 #4 0x08058144 in make_terminal_frame () at frame.c:539 #5 0x080581ad in Fmake_terminal_frame (parms=405453316) at frame.c:574 It seems to be due to Richard's change in xfaces.c from 19th May. I get the same crash if I do: emacs -nw -q --no-site-file M-x make-frame So it's probably not a VM problem.
