Description Jonathan Kamens 2001-10-19 01:23:09 UTC
I upgraded to the 20.7-43 Rawhide emacs packages (emacs, emacs-X11,
emacs-el).  Now Emacs is coredumping when I try to run it in X mode:

I downloaded the SRPM and rebuilt it, and it doesn't coredump anymore.  I
suspect a problem in the binutils used to build the Emacs RPM, especially
since there's at least one known problem in the current rawhide binutils. 
I'm running a previous binutils version (2.11.90.0.8-8) because I ran into
that problem.  Other than that old binutils version, I'm up-to-date with
all the other Rawhide packages.

Will probably be fixed the next time it's rebuilt... keeping this open until then.

Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-10-22 16:23:10 UTC
emacs 21.1-0.1 and above should fix this.
