Of course. I've always made significant effort to keep mail off you. It's bad news you're not shielded from so much noise. > Could one of you please tell me what the remaining problem is? This was in the one you replied to, when you said nothing needed to be done: No, I have identified only additional bug in GIF support. This bug is now fixed in both RC and HEAD. Emacs still can crash with broken libungif and I think it is too much work to identify the problem in old version of libungif. I have asked libungif author to release new version with better version informations. Fixing future versions of libungif won't help when building against current libraries and is unnecessary with the autoconf test. That, and the similar jpeg test, didn't get installed for Emacs 21.2, so people can still build a version using the default configuration which crashes when they get sent a GIF file by mail. (I reported the problem against 21.1 to bug-gnu-emacs; it subsequently got diverted to emacs-devel.) _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
