Subject: Additional info on XEmacs 21.4.6 crashes
Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2001 14:51:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yl4rmcnuop.fsf@windlord.stanford.edu> (raw)

Vin Shelton queried the xemacs-beta list about the intermittant crashes
that I was reporting with Oort and XEmacs 21.4.6, and Stephen Turnbull
replied with this.  I figured I'd forward it back here so that it gets
into the mailing list archives for anyone doing a search.

(I have to admit that the documentation of internals in Gnus has bothered
me in the past as well; the user manual is excellent, but if one has to
dig beneath that it's often pretty hard to figure out what's going on.)

This happens in all recent Gnus, I'm not sure what the real cause is,
it's definitely a bug in XEmacs, and you can work around by telling
Gnus not to byte compile on the fly.

I forget how this is done, though, and as is typical in Gnus the
documentation of `gnus-compile' is, er, minimal.
