Hi!

When I start emacs fro the command line I get the error below, but if I use
the "-nw" option it works.

Thanks and warm regards from LA, William

Please show the information collected by "M-x report-emacs-bug" on
that system.

Also, please run Emacs under GDB, and when it crashes, produce the
backtrace (type "thread apply all bt" at GDB prompt) and post it
here.  The traceback you posted is partial, and cannot be interpreted
on any system but your own.

Thanks.

You can use report-emacs-bug from a -nw session, it collects the same
data.

The error message seems to say that you invoked GDB not on the Emacs
executable at all, but on some other file.  Please show your GDB
invocation.

I see that, in the meantime, this has been reported on bugzilla. Please see

OK, thanks.  This bug is already fixed in the repository and in Emacs
27.1 that was released just today.  So I'm closing the bug.
