Description André Johansen 2002-07-23 10:26:39 UTC

Emacs crashes when editing C++ source code.  It seems this happens sometimes when typing  
";" -- I've had Emacs crash twice within half an hour of editing after upgrading the  
machine to Red Hat Linux v7.3.  
  
The Emacs package is "emacs-21.2-2". 
 
Call-stack from the core-file: 
Core was generated by `emacs --unibyte -geometry 162x71-0+0'. 
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Emacs 21 has been stable in all other circumstances (i.e. other usage on other machines).

Comment 1 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-07-23 16:26:54 UTC

Need a testcase, I've not had this happen and use it for quite a bit of code
editing...

Comment 2 André Johansen 2002-07-29 09:47:58 UTC

I haven't been able to reproduce this for a while; I'll add more information when/if this 
happens again...

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-07-29 18:31:42 UTC

OK, reopen with data if you can reproduce.

Comment 4 André Johansen 2002-08-22 12:48:53 UTC

I just had the same crash again (same call-stack), while editing in C++ mode. 
I'll compile a version with debugging symbols to gain more information on the 
next crash.
