Hi,
I've been testing emacs-X11-24.3.90-1 for more than two weeks now, and
this is what happened:
- a few hours after I claimed that there were no problems with this
version yet (see above), Emacs crashed again.
- I used to start Emacs from gdb for about two weeks, hoping to catch it
red-handed. No problems occurred
- I reverted to starting Emacs as I had done for years (through
startxwin), but I've set up the CYGWIN environment variable to
create true core dumps. A couple of days later Emacs crashed again
and left a core dump. I've sent that along with a problem
description to bug-gnu-emacs AT gnu.org:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17753
This basically means that the current test release is a major
improvement although it did not eliminate crashes altogether. As I do
not have any core dumps of the previous Emacs version, I can't even
tell whether or not the same bugs are involved.
regards,
Markus
