In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386--freebsd, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2002-10-15 on olimp.attbi.com configured using `configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --prefix=/usr/local i386--freebsd' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_US.ISO_8859-1 locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Hi, I apologize if this is really a Gnus bug, but I'm inclined to think that it's actually a bug with Emacs. It happens with Gnus v5.9.0 (the one that came with this Emacs version) as well as Oort Gnus v0.0.7. The bug occurs only in the X mode of Emacs and when triggered causes it to crash with fatal error 11 and core being dumped. To trigger the bug, I only need to fetch a large number of article headers when reading an Usenet group and then press 'q' to quit (perhaps it's related to large buffer being closed?). This bug happens even without any Emacs configurations being set and with minimal Gnus configurations to allow the reproduction of the bug. Another important point to make is that this bug MIGHT be specific to my operating system, X server, or other libraries needed for Emacs, therefore I include that information as well: Operating system: FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE X server: XFree86-4.2.0_1 Other libraries that were needed to compile/run Emacs: Xaw3d-1.5 autoconf213-2.13.000227_4 expat-1.95.5 freetype2-2.1.2 gettext-0.11.5_1 gmake-3.80 imake-4.2.0_1 jpeg-6b_1 libiconv-1.8_1 libtool-1.3.4_4 libungif-4.1.0b1 m4-1.4_1 png-1.2.4 tiff-3.5.7 Below I also include the relevant portion of GDB trace when the crash happens (slightly edited to fit in 80 columns): -- CUT --------------------------------------------------------- Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. 0x8bc45e8 in ??
