I have 18.55 on a MIPS, a Tandem S2, and a Sun Sparc station. On the mips and tandem, when I load up lots of files via tags-search, I get to about 2.2Meg and get a segmentation violation which sometimes produces no core file. I am running this both as an X client and from X term. On the Sun, I can load all the files but then when I load another file which is about 4Meg by itself, I get a core dump. On the MIPS, the top of the stack is in SetBfp [buffer.c: line 819]. p (the parameter) and what p points to look o.k. I think the name of the buffer is hosed. I've only just started looking at it. I have not looked at it any on the sun. I do have the fixes for the Sun to fix (work around) the problem with localtime. (I don't think I am hitting any user limits if I can read the output of "limit" correctly.) Thanks for your help; pedz BTW, I tried "run-dbx" and it can't find the file that I am trying to debug.
