Description of problem: XEmacs crashes whenever I do 'M-x man <return> netstat <return>' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.4.19-2.fc5 How reproducible: entirely Steps to Reproduce: 1. start up: xemacs -f shell 2. M-x man RET netstat RET 3. Actual results: xemacs crashes Expected results: Additional info: Obviously, there may be something weird in my xemacs setup that makes the problem not reproducible. (There is, of course, a bug in xemacs, because it should never seg fault; but this report is only about the apparently-obvious case).
xemacs is now in Extras, changing product.
Can you reproduce with "xemacs -vanilla" or "xemacs -q"?

Yes, it crashes with 'xemacs -q'. (It doesn't with 'xemacs -q -nw') This is all with 'yum update' as of about Mar 9 but w/ kernel 2025. (In general, this xemacs is pretty crashy, certainly compared to the current FC4 one, which almost never crashes. I supplied this example because the recipe is simple.) Keep up the good work!
I'm observing the same thing; xemacs is currently somewhat unstable and crashy on FC5tX. I'm pretty certain that this has to do with FC5's font/UTF-8 configuration issues (see bug 180284) which triggers a bug elsewhere in XEmacs resulting in these crashes. Note that (at least for me) starting up in a non-UTF8 locale, eg. with "LANG=C xemacs", avoids this crash just like in bug 183643.
