Emacs works fine on sparc64-sun-solaris2.10, but the difference is that the X libraries and servers installed there are ancient and predate the introduction of generic events or XInput 2. The backtrace Rainer produced demonstrates that the client-side abort is consequent on the X server crashing as it attempts to respond to an XIGetSelectedEvents request, which is _always_ a bug in the X server, whatever the circumstances, and so I suggest redirecting your attention to X.Org, and building `--without-xinput2' in the meantime.
Thank you, this is very helpful. I guess I'm not too surprised that it works on Solaris 10. Your support of a 20 year old OS is admirable. I tried --without-xinput2 with the GTK version, and it does indeed skirt the problem. I can now reliably run it without crashing. Since this all worked with 28.2, I guess that Emacs started using XInput 2 features in the 29.1 branch? Unfortunately, with the Lucid version, while --without-xinput2 seems to get past the failure I reported, there's now a different failure: % src/emacs X protocol error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) on protocol request 134 Serial no: 1318 - Ali
