Today I decided to upgrade to a newer version of emacs (I'm using emacs
18.55), so I ftp-ed the source of emacs 18.59 from prep.ai.mit.edu and
compiled it. All worked well. I got xemacs, I made the $EMACS dir (in
/usr/local/lib/emacs), installed the files into the etc/ lisp/ ...
directories and then tried to run emacs.

I got this message

Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I looked at the offending line with the debugger and I found that it
is:

fileio.c: line 2068: buf = XCONS (XCONS (tail)->car)->cdr;

in the function Fdo_auto_save.

I looked at the PROBLEMS file, but there is nothing about this error,
unless someting about a possible problem with XCONS. It says that
it is fixed by defining NO_UNION_TYPE in config.h, but that symbol is
already defined in my m-... file ...

Can anyone help me?

	Thank you in advance.
