Segmentation Faults

[Dan Anderson]

Emacs dies sporadically with the following away message:

Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

-Dan

What version of emacs do you use? What system?

I have very similar problem with emacs-cvs (21.3.50.2) under Gentoo Linux.
It always crashes (the same message) when I try to run on root
account. On other account - regular user it works just fine.

It means there's a problem.
To fix it, you'll have to fix the problem,

My pleasure,

PS: I wish I could be more specific, but you really don't give us much
info to work with.

Please report them to the address mentioned in INSTALL-CVS.

You are right, but I think rather that this is my local problem with
configuration than with emacs itself. (It works on regular account with
no problems.)
I haven't enough time yet to investigate the problem and ensure where
the source of problem is.

I have a lot of work and at last emacs works well where I need it the most.
