On the BeagleBone, I'm seeing a similar crash in several different user = land programs. I suspect it's a kernel bug. Symptom: program is killed with SIGSEGV. Most of the registers contain = values above 0xc0000000 (pointing into kernel space). Theory: * Registers are not always getting correctly restored on a kernel->user = transition. * SEGV is a consequence. I can reproduce it semi-consistently by running "emacs existing-file" = just after a reboot. (But I'm pretty sure this is the same symptoms = I've seen with several other programs, so I don't think it's a bug in = emacs.) Has anyone else seen this on an armv6 system? Does anyone have suggestions for how to go about debugging this? Suggestions appreciated. Cheers, Tim
