Windows XP VirtualBox virtual machines (don't ask) setup.exe version 2.8.50 (32 bit) tried both emacs 24.3.93-1 and 24.3-2 X-server is cygin 64 bit on windows 7. It was working last week. Now silent crash, no log entries. Occassionally a core dump? More information - I had an older computer with an older version of cygwin 32 bit running an x-server and an older version of cygwin emacs 32 bit installed on a virtual machine. a) setting the DISPLAY to the new computer with the latest version doesn't help - the older emacs crashes with an illegal system call. However, there are no problems running xterm. b) after setting the DISPLAY to the old computer's cygwin x server, emacs runs fine on the old vm. Does anyone have suggestions?
