Hi. I have gotten a version of GNUemacs (18.30) running on an RT, by deleting the inc-vers stage of the build. The execution of the regular expression search in inc-vers.el caused temacs to core dump. I have generated several regular expressions that cause errors that should not be errors, or core dumps. The current buffer is a single character, "a", and the point is _before_ the "a", at the beginning of the buffer. re-search-forward was executed with the following patterns: Pat result a success a* failure [^b] success [^b]* core dump In addition, the -Dtest feature of regex.c core dumped for "a*" also. Does anybody out there know what is wrong? -- --chet-- In Real Life: Chet Murthy ARPA: murthy@svax.cs.cornell.edu SnailMail: Chet Murthy Gaslight Village Apts 21-B Uptown Road Ithaca, NY 14850 MaBellNet: (607)-257-5709
