List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:8887 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:8887 There is no strong reason, but one of the recent problem I came across in this area is that process operations don't work properly during dumping (the handling of sigchld is explicitly not turned on because it can supposedly prevent unexec from working right). That prevents byte-compiling ediff with temacs, for example, because ediff runs `patch' (IIRC) while loading one of its .el files. There can be a conditional to avoid running the program if purify-flag is non-nil.
