I wonder if it could be related to the recent change I put into the dynamic linker, whereby the dynamic linker now uses the application's malloc. Could you revert your dynamic linker to the version that existed on November 25 and see if it makes a difference? The sources are in "src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/rtld/". You don't need to recompile emacs to test it. Thanks, John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth
