CS Dept, Ithaca NY Lines: 45 Keywords: gnu emacs gould I just got GNUemacs version 18.32 (updated from 18.31 via diffs), and I was able to compile it and run successfully on a SUN, and a uvaxII. However, when I tried to get it to compile and run on a GOULD running UTX/32 release 1.3, it died big time. I did the #undef BSTRING in m-gould.h, but the executable resulting still is dead in the water. The temacs does the inc-vers, loadup, and dump just fine. However, xemacs dies in the terminal initialization, in the call to tgetent, which calls malloc. Malloc dies with an apparent free list corruption. I enclose a copy of the dbx output on the core dump: Script started on Fri Dec 12 11:46:09 1986 bullwinkle:dbx xemacs dbx version 3 of 6/6/86 10:37 (bullwinkle).
