Hello,
I have built emacs 23.1 for AIX/PowerPC using the xlc compiler (config.log
is available) using the lucid toolkit. Emacs crashes sometimes when I try to
scroll in a buffer or modify the buffer. The crash occurs about one or two
times per week.
I have included a trace from dbx inspecting the core file. It seems to have
to do with garbage collection or memory management. My guess is that garbage
collection is performed during buffer scrolling. The binary was built with
-g and -O2 using xlc_r. I have tried for a week to reproduce a crash with an
unoptimized build, but was not successful, so the trace below is the best I
can provide for now.
When I compiled emacs I get warnings about alloca. I also tried to build
emacs with gcc, but it crashes in the same way.
The following crash happens sometimes when I try to scroll in a buffer:
