I've spent hours searching on Google and mailing lists for any related information, but have been unable to find any. For the last several months (probably about 6-8) I've had problems with xemacs on 5.2-CURRENT that don't occur on my 4-STABLE boxes that are similarly configured. Every time xemacs starts up, it appears to be fine, but as soon as you try to do anything (like C-x C-f for example), it opens up a warning buffer and spews warnings like this at an alarming rate: (254) (memory/critical) Warning: past acceptable memory limits Killing some buffers may delay running out of memory. However, certainly by the time you receive the 95% warning, you should clean up, kill this Emacs, and start a new one. It continues to do that, even though everything continues to appear to operate normally. After a while (10 minutes to a few hours usually) it crashes completely, leaving a backtrace that doesn't have anything obviously helpful (to me). I've checked my memory usage with top, etc., and everything appears to be just fine, with ~80MB free or more, and swap space untouched. Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Do you know of any further steps I could take to try and resolve the issue? Thanks, Mac -- Mac Newbold Digital Media Consulting, LLC mac@dmedia.ws http://www.dmedia.ws/
