Emacs is running on Solaris, with the X display pointing to eXceed (i.e., Windoze). Both of the core dumps have the same 8 functions leading up to a bus error (SIGBUS): FcPatternObjectFindElt (causes/triggers the SIGBUS) FcFontSetList FcFontList ftfont_list xftfont_list font_list_entities font_find_for_lface font_load_for_lface =20 Two different functions call font_load_for_lface in my two core files, and the rest of the calls are quite different. I can't reproduce this at will, but I have a feeling it will recur. Any advice about how to catch it or get better diagnostic information for a bug report? I tried searching debbugs.gnu.org for similar bugs, and don't see any -- but I might not be searching effectively. Do I already have enough for an actionable bug report? (I don't think I do.) I built this Emacs, so I can rebuild it if it will help diagnose this. I abbreviated the stack trace, but it has line numbers in the bottom five functions. The top three are obviously Lisp....
