412 Were xemacs and [any 3rd party, locally-compiled] libraries [you use]
413 all compiled with the same ABI ( -o32, -n32, -64) and
414 mips2/mips3/mips4 flags, and are they appropriate for the machine in
415 question? I know the IP30 implies an Octane, so it should be an R10K
416 chipset and above such nonsense, but I've seen the most astoundingly
417 bizzare crashes when somebody managed to compile with -mips4 and get
418 it to run on an R4400 or R5K system. ;)

420 Also, since you're using gcc, try re-running fixincludes and *then*
421 rebuilding xemacs and [any] libraries - mismatched headers can do that
422 sort of thing to you with little or no clue what's wrong (often you
423 get screwed when one routine does an malloc(sizeof(foo_struct)) and
424 passes the result to something that things foo_struct is a bit bigger,
425 trashing memory....

427 Here's typical crash backtrace. With --pdump, this occurs usually at
428 startup under X windows and xemacs -nw at least starts, while without
429 --pdump a similar crash is observed during build.
