It dumps core immediately on start up. Ironically, those same changes made it possible to get the stack trace which pointed to the problem. :-O You can make emacs work again by reverting your dynamic linker to the version from November 25th. E.g., if you have the CVS repository: cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/rtld cvs -q upd -Pd -D 'Nov 25' make clean cleandepend make depend make make install I will look for a fix ASAP. Sorry for the hassle in the meantime. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth
