unexpected program exit

[Chris Saunders]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2003-11-18 on genome.biotech.washington.edu
configured using `configure  --prefix=/home/ctsa/opt/i686-linux/emacs'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil
  value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
  value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
  value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
  value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
  value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
  value of $LC_TIME: nil
  value of $LANG: en_US

  default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

While editing text in C++ Abbrev mode, emacs unexpected quit and
dumped core (backtrace included below).  This happened during normal
text editing, so I was not executing any C-x or M-x type commands, nor
using the mouse. I can't recall exactly what I was doing more
precisely than that, either scrolling with the arrow keys or typing
ordinary keyboard characters. This exit occured very soon after
starting up emacs (within ~30 seconds). I've observed similar
unexpected exits before, but only very soon after emacs was initially
started.

The only technical info I can add to that provided above is that I'm
running on Redhat 7.1, and I believe I compiled emacs using gcc 3.3.3.

If I can provide more information about this please write back to me at:
ctsa@u.washington.edu

Thanks!
