Crashes During Garbage Collection

Thursday, September 18, 2003

Although the process.c bootstrapping problem is now gone, I have already had two crashes during garbage collection since I updated yesterday. Unless you're helping to debug it, I recommend using a version from the beginning of September.

After looking at src/ChangeLog, my intuition tells me to roll back to before Sep 11 (say Sep 10), and Emacs hasn't crashed for the whole afternoon now.

I was told that window dragging will work correctly again on Panther if the code for the inDrag case (in macterm.c) is changed like so:

	    case inDrag:
#if TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON
              if (er.what == mouseDown)  
	        {
	          BitMap bm;

	          GetQDGlobalsScreenBits (&bm);
      	          DragWindow (window_ptr, er.where, &bm.bounds);
	        }
#else /* not TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON */

I'll check that into the CVS when I feel comfortable with it. Feedbacks are welcome.
