File: backtrace
Thanks for the report. It looks like xemacs went haywire trying to interpret your binary file as Unicode characters. Since the actual values I need were optimized out in that backtrace, do you still have the a.out file that triggered this crash? If so, do you mind attaching it to this bug so that I can attempt to reproduce the crash? Hello, It always crashes. there isn't any sensitivity to any file, xemacs crashes every time, everywhere in my system! but emacs doesn't! I just installed it from the repository (fedora rep.) about 1 month ago, but couldn't start it yet... It hasn't crashed for me even once since I became the Fedora package maintainer last June, and I use it every day, nor have I received any reports of crashes except for this one. So it appears that your system is "special" in some way. I'm going to need your help to figure out why it crashes for you. Does it crash if you start XEmacs like this? xemacs -vanilla Also, what locale are you using? Yes, it crashed again! I installed it by using this command : yum groupinstall 'Electronic Lab' reinstalling didn't do anything good too...! Excuse me but, I do not know what are my configurations for this program! My system default language is English U.S. and the secondary language is Persian. But I do not think, this raises of the crash! Cause I didn't use Persian language on XEmacs or something like this! Sure, but the reported crash is inside code that is trying to do Unicode conversions, so the very fact that your environment includes Persian may be leading to the crash. Did you try running with -vanilla (see comment 4)? With respect to comment 5, can you tell me the values of the following environment variables, please? LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME Hopefully that will be enough to let me reproduce the crash. Thank you. oh, excuse me! In comment 6, I tried to say it at my first sentence but didn't make the right sentence(:D). running with -vanilla didn't help me too; It crashed just like before... Of course, The value of LANG variable is "en_US.UTF-8" and all the others are empty. Thank you... I don't understand what you mean by having Persian as a secondary language, then. How did you set that? Sorry, Don't be confused! My non-default keyboard layout is Persian and nothing else, I was just telling you my locale informations. I don't know what settings can cause an XEmacs locale like problem! Maybe we're barking up the wrong tree, then. Can you show me the output of this command? rpm -qa | grep xemacs xemacs-debuginfo-21.5.29-8.fc12.x86_64 xemacs-21.5.29-8.fc12.x86_64 xemacs-packages-base-20090217-4.fc12.noarch xemacs-common-21.5.29-8.fc12.x86_64 I'm going to post your problem to the XEmacs development mailing list and see if anybody has any ideas. Stand by... Thank you very much... One of the developers pointed out that I'm an idiot. I should have looked at your backtrace more carefully. It is clearly inside the X Windows initialization code, which explains why it crashes on every file. Can you run "xmodmap -pk > keymap" and attach the keymap file to this bug?

keymap
The XEmacs developers have diagnosed the problem. The support for Arabic keysyms was buggy, so one of the developers removed it entirely in the recent past until it can be redone correctly. When XEmacs sees your Persian keyboard layout, it tries to process the X keysyms, and crashes because of the missing Arabic support. Two of the developers are attempting to accelerate their work on fixing this code to behave correctly. However, they do not yet have a projected timeline for when a patch will be available. In the meantime, the only workarounds are to use the xemacs-nox version, or to remove Persian as a secondary keyboard layout. Neither is very satisfactory. As soon as something is ready to test, I'll post to this bug report.

It doesn't work again! but this time abrt didn't raise again and XEmacs says : Wrong type argument: natnump, -2075136 No problem. I've been absent, too. I'm going to push this update anyway, because it at least prevents the crash. This new error appears to be due to integer overflow.
