I have a SPARCstation IPC ( sun4c )
   In src/config.h:  m-sparc.h and s-sunos4.h are defined

temacs runs okay, but xemacs core dumps:
	Fatal error (6). Abort(coredump)

Looks as if I was snagged by clobbered free block!

Looked in PROBLEMS file:

* The dumped Emacs (xemacs) crashes when run, trying to write pure data.

Added "#define static" to the m- and s- file, but it made no difference.

What's the scoop?

    
Thanks in advance!
