Thanks, but this backtrace can only be interpreted on the system where
it was produced.  So please use the procedure described in the node
"Crashing" of the Emacs manual to convert the addresses to file names,
function names, and source line numbers.

If you can afford that, please try the latest release candidate of
Emacs 26.1, it's available from alpha.gnu.org.  It could be that this
problem was already fixed.

Dear Eli Zaretskii,

thanks for your reply and no problem, here we go, assuming the script you've been speaking of is https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Crashing.html

The file contains quite a number of question marks, though

The emacs in question is incidentally the current emacs version in Archlinux

Best regards,

Marc

That's because your Emacs binary is stripped of debugging symbols.  Is
there perhaps an auxiliary distribution with those symbols as separate
files?  If so, could you please install that and repeat what you've
done?

Thanks.

Not to my knowledge out of the box, I'm afraid. I could perhaps configure and compile my own version of the emacs package with debuging included, but I'd need some time to study how that might work under Archlinux.

Are there alternatives?

Best regards,

Marc

If you do decide to build your own Emacs, I suggest to build version
26.1, because it's quite possible this problem is fixed there (and if
it isn't, it becomes much more urgent).

Not that I know of.

Dear Eli,

tonight the emacs delivered with Archlinux has updated itself to GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30) of 2018-05-29. You might be interested that the crash persists (scenario to provoke it unchanged).

I attach you the backtrace (before and after processing with sed and addr2line) and will look into options to get an emacs version with debugging symbols (might take a moment, unfortunately).

Best regards,

Marc

Hello,

in order to get a more meaningful backtrace I've compiled emacs 26.1 directly from its source (source directly downloaded from http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gnu/emacs/emacs-26.1.tar.xz)

The crash remains fully reproducible. I attach you the backtraces. Of yourse, I'm at your disposal for any additional information you may need

Best regards,

Marc

Thanks.

If the crash is reproducible, can you give a step by step recipe,
starting from "emacs -Q", for reproducing it?

the first part is

emacs -Q

package-install-packages

Install package "wanderlust" (version 20180506.128)

Start wanderlust (meta x wl)

No comes the problem - given the error message (cf. below) I assume that 
the crash is triggered by trying to display the concrete content of my 
Sent folder (though it is triggered systematically once I open it)

How could we proceed on this?

Best regards,

Marc

I suggest to run Emacs under GDB in X synchronous mode, and then
examining the X error that brings it down.  The file etc/DEBUG
explains how to run Emacs in X synchronous mode, search for "If you
encounter X protocol errors".  We need to know the exact X protocol
request that caused the error, and also the backtrace from there.  The
GDB command "bt" will show the backtrace.

Thanks.

This sounds like another case of bug#30045 and bug#30874.  In both
cases, there's a font that causes libXft to blow up.  If that's the
same bug, it should be solved on the master branch, see the commit
mentioned in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30874#114.

Robert, how about backporting it to the emacs-26 branch, so that it
ends up in Emacs 26.2?

bug#31547: 25.3; Core dump: g_main_context_prepare() called recursively from within a source's check() or prepare() member.

Yes. Just as a sanity check, could you do

XFT_DEBUG=16 ./gdb

and then repeat the same commands? That should give us an indication
of which font XFT is trying to open.

Sure. Perhaps a PROBLEMS entry as well? Although if itʼs backported
the problem won't arise.

Marc, Iʼve attached the patch here, would it be possible for you to
check if it fixes your problem?

Thanks

Robert
