It is a 486sx 25 with 8 mb of memory. 13 GB disk. >Description: compilation of emacs 20.4 from gnu archive dies. When emacs is compiled a lot of modules are loaded, and then dumped as "emacs". This is when FreeBSD totally hangs. All other virtual consoles are frozen. It dies repeatedly at the same point. The machine is a 486sx 25 mhz with 8 mb of memory. This indicates that it is a memory management problem in FreeBSD. Note: same emacs compiles and dumps with no problems, on the same computer, using OpenBSD 2.5. So it is not a hardware problem. >How-To-Repeat: "make" Dumping of emacs always stops, at the same point. I can send you a copy of the emacs in question, but that would not help. If you tell me exactly what to do to extract more information, I can repeat the problem on my machine. >Fix: Use another machine with more memory to compile. "make" finishes with no problems there, using the same emacs. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
