Cocoa Emacs for OS X and GNUstep

Logged In: NO

Same here for 10.4 and 8.02.

I'm unable to replicate this crash, which appears to be related to general

emacs code rather than the Cocoa code. The only work-around I can
recommend is to try the successor project Emacs.app (http://emacs-
app.sf.net) which is based on a later version of GNU Emacs and may
therefore
not have this bug. (Note, although Emacs.app is alpha status and comes
only
in a source distribution, it is equal or better in functionality and
stability in
nearly all respects to Emacs on Aqua.)

Exactly the same on OS X 10.4.3 on my PowerMac Quad G5. Have
tried recompiling from source and no improvement.

I had the same problem and it kept crashing(Emacs was in /
Applications, there was no .emacs and no /usr/local/share/emacs and
nothing in plist file.

Here's the backtrace

Things to try:

- temporarily move .emacs aside

- if you have /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp, temporarily move it aside
as
well

- if ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist exists, make sure it has no "EMACS_..."
variables set

- if still crashing, try 'gdb /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/
Emacs', then hit 'r' to run it, and 'bt' after crash to generate some
helpful
debugging info. (Actually, if the OS X crash reporter runs, this info
might
be in there already, so no need to run gdb.)
