This is a weird problem and I'm uncertain if it is in libW11, x11-server, or emacs. As a result, I'm crossposting to both lists. Yesterday, after upgrading libX11 and x11-server, I could no longer run Emacs to an X display. It crashed quickly with a segmentation error in the pthread library. Oddly, I could run it to my local xserver from a remote system. Rolling back the x11 server did not help nor did rolling back libX11 or even both of them. I had to roll back libX11 first and build the server with the old libX11. Rebuilding emacs with the new ports made no difference. Since the old libX11 contains a very serious vulnerability, I really hate to leave it this way, but I also have a hard time getting anything done without emacs. Nothing other than emacs seems to have a problem with this. Any idea what is going on? -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
