Re: Emacs 21.1 on Tru64-5.1 crash

[Jeremie Petit]

Hello Eli,

  supposing that a 'backtrace' is what I could obtain under a debugger (dbx,
because ladebug won't load emacs...??), here is it.
See after the backtrace for additional information.

Other interesting information: in fact, it seems that some times, my X
server is lacking some ressources, because when I could reproduce the
problem, I couldn't launch an xterm:

xemacs: X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for
operati
on)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  24
  Current serial number in output stream:  30

xemacs: X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x18800001
  Serial number of failed request:  25
  Current serial number in output stream:  30

etc...

I'm rerunning emacs under the debugger in case I can obtain other
information. Tell me if I can do something else
or if the 'backtrace' is not exactly that.

Cheers,
