Description Sam Varshavchik 2000-10-07 01:03:21 UTC 
emacs-X11-20.7-14 dumped core on me.  All I did was "emacs $filename", then
when the window opened up, I started resizing the window to make it
bigger.  Before I finished resizing, it dumped core.

sawfish.

gdb post mortem is attached.

I've been hitting emacs hard for the past couple of weeks, this is the
first time it happened.  Must be a remote boundary case somewhere. It might
be worthwhile to get emacs recompiled after bugfixed gcc build is made
available.

The post mortem.
Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-10-08 01:55:32 UTC 
This is not enough information.... I use emacs on a daily basis without this
happening. Can you try to reproduce it? Without such a thing, there's no chance
of tracking it down.
Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-12-04 23:32:09 UTC 
Closed - not reproducible, and lack of information.
