What can I do with this?

[Herbert Euler]

Hi all,

I'm using Emacs Unicode 2 from CVS, the latest checking
happens on today. I encountered the following message:

[xgp@server64 ~]$ %1
emacs
Auto-save? (y or n) y
Auto-save done
Abort (and dump core)? (y or n) y
Fatal error (6)
Aborted
[xgp@server64 ~]$

What can I do now? How could I provide helpful information?
I didn't find any 'core dump' file. Thanks.

Regards,
Guanpeng Xu

The most probable reason why you didn't find any core file is that
your shell limits core file to zero size.  Use the `ulimit' command to
set the core file size to unlimited, and then try again running Emacs.

Run emacs in gdb, see etc/DEBUG for more information.
