From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: xemacs crashes immediately upon startup on ia64. I am unable to try it on a machine with a local X server. So I don't know if it matters that I'm on a RH9 ia32 box with SSH X forwarding. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.4.13-2.ent How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ssh -X to a ia64 machine 2. xemacs 3. Actual Results: 49 [ben@xenophanes Kernels]$ ssh tdevi ben@tdevi's password: news: tdevi@ben:xemacs Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If necessary, send ordinary email to `crashes@xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation, or equivalently the file Installation in the top of the build tree. *Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type gdb /usr/src/build/307042-ia64/BUILD/xemacs-21.4.13/src/xemacs core then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.) If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited' in case of future recurrance of the crash. Lisp backtrace follows: Segmentation fault Expected Results: xemacs starts up. Additional info: Seems to work fine from a RHE3 ia32 box. Standard gnu-emacs works just fine.
If I do a strace one of the last things that shows up is it opening /etc/passwd. That may be a clue as to what it is doing. open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 5 fcntl(5, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=14573, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2000000003adc000 read(5, "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 16384) = 14573 close(5) = 0 munmap(0x2000000003adc000, 65536) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {0x40000000003cd540, [], SA_INTERRUPT}, {0x40000000003cd540, [], SA_INTERRUPT}, 8) = 0 setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 0}}, NULL) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, {0x40000000003cf280, [], SA_INTERRUPT}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGWINCH, {0x40000000003cde90, [], SA_INTERRUPT}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 200000000142ba40 (200000000142ba40) --- rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [SEGV], NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGSEGV, {SIG_DFL}, {0x200000000147e2d0, [], SA_INTERRUPT}, 8) = 0 write(2, "\nFatal error (11).\n\n", 20) = 20 write(2, "Your files have been auto-saved."..., 888) = 888 write(2, "/usr/src/build/307042-ia64/BUILD"..., 58) = 58 write(2, " core\n\nthen type `where\' at the "..., 278) = 278 write(2, "\nLisp backtrace follows:\n\n", 26) = 26 getpid() = 3091 kill(3091, SIGSEGV) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 2000000000c11be2 (1fcf00000c13) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
