Description of problem: I installed AS2.1 from CD, then updated to the beta errata. I then tried to run xemacs from a GNOME session (I wanted to view info pages), and I got the soon-to-be-attached crash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.4.6-6.7 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run 'xemacs' in a gnome terminal under X 2. 3. Actual results: Crashes Expected results: Doesn't crash. Additional info: I like pie.
Created attachment 89111 [details] crash log of starting 'xemacs'
Is a core dump file generated?
No core dump file is generated.
Does it run ok for you in a tty ("xemacs -nw")?
Nope.
(Btw, just in case it wasn't obvious, the solution is just to rebuild the srpm.)
Just a far-fetched hunch, but probably the core file isn't created because of core files being disabled by default (on RHL that is, I don't know about RHEL). "ulimit -c unlimited" could help...
We now have a workaround for this for ia64 (linking without -dynamic-export) so this should be easy to fix for the next updates release. :)
An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
