GNU Emacs 18.55.95 of Tue Nov 9 1990:

EMACS dumped core just a few minutes ago when I entered a command.
The command was ESC-., to search for a tag.  The default was "$2", I
entered something like "make_node", hit return, and immediately the
(X) window EMACS was running in disappeared.  The xterm window from
which I had done "xemacs &" earlier notified me that an illegal
instruction error had occurred and that it had dumped core before
stopping the job.

I had been doing a number of tag searches successfully prior to this,
and reading several files at once, but not many (around five, I'd
guess).  I don't think I made any changes to any buffers.

I've had two "xemacs &" windows going at once, in case that's
important.  The other one I use for editing my own source code.

I did restart a new xemacs window (here on "churchy", I believe) and
retried the exact same command at a point in a yacc source file where
a "$2" became the default tag search (and again I overrode that with
"make_node") and it worked fine.

Hope you can make something of this.  The core dump is in
/home/fsf/burley/core, and this >1MB file will remain there until
somebody asks me to delete it.  I have no need for it aside from
filing this bug report.

        tq vm, (burley)
