>Description:
Texmacs 1.0.6 builds successfully using the current portfile,
however, when the program is started it fails as soon as
input is attempted in the main canvas with an allocation
exception, and the program immediately terminates.
This behavior did not occur with the previous version of
texmacs (1.0.5) on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE.
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/ports/editors/texmacs
# make install
# cd
# texmacs
...and attempt input in the main canvas. The program willr
generate an exception and terminate.
>Fix:
The problem seems to be that disabling texmac's internal
allocator (by the --disable-fastalloc configure option)
triggers a bug under FreeBSD 6.0. Changing to the default
configuration fixed the problem.
The resulting texmacs was tested by running a maxima
session and ran successfully.
A patch which uses the default allocator on FreeBSD 6.0
and above is attached. It should be applied in
/usr/ports/editors/texmacs.
