RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Laurent Wandrebeck 2016-02-15 12:53:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
Emacs crashes regularly since 7.2. Classical use for an editor is enough.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

24.3-18-el7

How reproducible:

Open a couple files, modify some, save, scroll through files, it will crash quite quickly.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Haven’t found (yet ?) a stable way to get emacs to crash.

Actual results:

Emacs crashes (segfault)

Expected results:

Emacs should run properly.

Additional info:

Here is a complete backtrace with debug symbols. emacs crashes regularly since update to CentOS 7.2. Hope this helps.

Comment 2 Jan Synacek 2016-02-15 13:23:32 UTC 
I cannot reproduce this.

Can you reproduce this when running emacs as "emacs -Q" (without any user configuration)?
Comment 3 Laurent Wandrebeck 2016-02-16 14:25:52 UTC 
User can’t either reproduce when not using his configuration. He’s got two add-ons or whatever it’s called in emacs land, I’ve asked him to use one at a time so we now the real source of problems. I would bet on the python completion add-on but time will tell. Thanks for your quick reply !
