Xemacs crash on WinXP

Xemacs crash on WinXP

[Jee Chung]

Ever since I updated by Cygwin installation about a week ago, my xemacs has been crashing repeatedly.  Usually, it starts up fine, I use it for a few minutes, then it either hangs (consumes CPU) then crashs or crashes spontaneously leaving a stack dump that looks like:

bash:~> cat emacs.EXE.stackdump 
Stack trace:

All other Xfree86 program appear to be functioning fine.  Has anyone else seen a problem like this?

Re: Xemacs crash on WinXP

[Jee Chung]

I start my xemacs by invoking the command "emacs &" via my TWM's root menu (coded into my .twmrc file).  The version of emacs I have on my install says that it's 21.2.1.  My Cygwin install appears to be cygwin-1.5.7-1 from having examined the cygwin1.dll file.

Aha, so it's emacs and not XEmacs. Search the list, I think there are
known problems with emacs or even better download the new proposed
version from Joe Bühler. Or maybe switch to XEmacs....

Re: Xemacs crash on WinXP

[Jee Chung]

Well, I may invoking by saying "emacs &", but all indications are that it's the X version of emacs that starts up, because if I try to start emacs from the cygwin terminal:

jchung@T22L-32 ~
$ which emacs
/usr/bin/emacs

jchung@T22L-32 ~
$ /usr/bin/emacs
emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.

Is there a different way to invoke Xemacs?  I do get xemacs as part of my Cygwin install and keep it updated regularly

Give yourself a tour by these two web sites:

	http://www.xemacs.org/
	http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html

And discover how unreasonable are your previous words...
