I have EXACTLY the same Xemacs problem and asked for help
on Usenet and on this list at least twice already, to
no avail, except 2 other users reported the same problem.
I use 3.0.3 and 5.2.18 plus kernel 2.0.18, BTW.
Notice that it doesn't make any diff if you d-load
a binary or compile it yourself, you get the same
SIG11 and a core dump. :-< I tried so many different
things, new and old libraries, nada. I bet you'll
find some (all?) of the following crash with sig11
on your box as well:
1. Xpaint, when you try to create a custom canvas
and/or save an image bigger than 400KB.
2. Fvwm95-42.a
3. Viewres
4. XFM, when copying/moving big files, 1-2MB size
binaries
5. don't remember, several others. On the other
hand, all Motif and Tcl/Tk apps run fine.
