I hope the backtrace (obtained from emacs-snapshot) > is adequate. Thanks. Please show the results of these commands: (gdb) frame 14 (gdb) print data (gdb) xtype For the "xtype" command to work, you will need to instruct GDB to read a file where "xtype" is defined. Download this file: http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/annotate/head:/src/.gdbinit by following the "download file" link on the above page, then instruct GDB to read it: (gdb) source /path/to/.gdbinit Then type the commands "frame 14" etc. >From initial look at the backtrace, it looks like Emacs is trying to display some error message, probably related to the reason why it did not exit. If we succeed to show the error message and the accompanying data, we might be able to understand the reason(s) for that.
