There are numerous bug reports about XEmacs on RH 7 and 8 on the XEmacs mailing lists, with the resolution including a recommendation of configuring with --use-union-type=yes, see <http://list-archive.xemacs.org/cgi-bin/wilma_glimpse/xemacs-beta?query=use-union-type&Search=Search&restricttofiles=on&filelist=200211&filelist=200210&filelist=200209&errors=0&maxfiles=50&maxlines=10&.cgifields=lineonly&.cgifields=filelist&.cgifields=case&.cgifields=partial&.cgifields=restricttofiles> Perhaps RH should use that option, I've personally used a modified version of the RH8 XEmacs RPM for quite some time now which is built with this option, and it has worked very well for me.
Yep, I'll try using union-types in the next package release. Thanks.
21.4.10-3 was built with union-type.
Uh-oh. There's some new information about this one, see <http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200212/msg00232.html>. I don't know which is better, union-type or not, but I've never had problems *with* it on Red Hat. Just a FYI.
