Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, When we recently upgraded from emacs 21.3 to emacs 21.4a on our Solaris 9 machines, we found that emacs would cause a coredump when it exited. Buffers were written correctly to files. We tried reverting to emacs 21.3, but now it does the same thing. Even clearing out all files installed by emacs and reinstalling does not prevent this behavior. The only change we can think of that might cause this was an upgrade of gcc to version 4.0.1 prior to the emacs upgrade. I have attached a transcript of our installation of 21.4 (including some commands at the end to correct a script error installing our site customization and an "emacs -version" command to show what happens. The -version doesn't seem to matter; emacs dumps core without it as well.) I apologize for the length, but it includes the complete installation procedure as well as "uname" and other diagnostic information. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
