Hi Emacs gurus,

I have switched from OSX Jaguar 10.2.8 to Panther 10.3.2 on january and 
found that emacs is far less stable than formerly.

Until the savannah hack, i used to check out cvs regularly and i did 
not remarked significant crash situations.
Now i can only check out from home, so i only used under 10.3.3 a build 
of 28/12/2003 and another one fresh one today (with image support and 3 
button mouse patches).
Both of them seems to crash quite often. So i don't think it is 
relative to some code changes but rather to the platform.

My main use of Emacs at work with mac if for Gnus (5.10.6) and for 
little text file edition.
Emacs seems to crash quite often with Gnus (not always for same 
reason), but I guess it might not be relative to only Gnus.

I am not finding me strong enough to debug emacs by myself, but i would 
be glad if i can help some stronger mac developper for example by 
giving my crash logs (from "console" app).

Let me know if someone is interested by my emacs crash log that i did 
not attached, as it is now 2000 lines long since panther upgrade...

Regards,
Sébastien Kirche

Yes, images can be displayed by emacs-carbon :^)

For image support, I applied both patches from  Mitsuharu Yamamoto :
- emacs-carbon-image-20040113.diff.bz2 
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-01/msg00230.html)
- additional patch 
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-01/msg00257.html)

These patches work great : i.e i can now see the graphical gnus logo, 
smillies (only the monochrome version, but iirc xpm format is not 
supported) and xfaces.
Btw, i have not used any other emacs feature that would display a 
picture - the startup screen does not display any pic.

For the 3 mouse button emulation i applied the recent patch 
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-02/msg00156.html) 
that works flawlessly and adds great handling improvement to my mac 
Emacs (Thanks!)  :^)

To build my version, i use to launch "mac/make-package 
--self-contained" that must define a --enable-carbon-app and a 
--without-x and  builds a mac installer with a "compact" application.
