Description of problem: From time to time my XEmacs vanishes. Invariably this is because of a double free detected by glibc. According to Stephen Turnbull from XEmacs this was a bug which was fixed in XEmacs version 21.5.28. So please update to that version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.5.27-8.fc6.x86_64 How reproducible: This happens occasionally without fixed pattern. But it has happened twice already today (and it's only 1 PM). Steps to Reproduce: 1. It's hard to reproduce, basically start XEmacs and start working 2. It normally happens when I'm switching workspaces. 3. Actual results: XEmacs crashes with a message from glibc about a double free. Expected results: No crash. Additional info: Since this version of XEmacs is also in Fedora 7, it may be prudent to also update there. So far I have only noticed the problem on FC6 on a 64 bit system, but then, I work on such a system.
21.5.28 is already in F7 updates-testing, if nothing unexpected happens it will be pushed to updates tomorrowish and shortly after that a FC6 update pushed too.
