Hi there!  Epoch has been crashing fairly irregularly in the
last few weeks around here, and I've managed to get a stack
trace using gdb on my Decstation 5000/120.  However, the
same code has also been crashing fairly regularly on the
Sparc machines around here.

The backtrace looks like this:

#0  direct_output_for_insert () at dispepoch.c:593
#1  0x420ba0 in command_loop_1 () at keyboard.c:718
#2  0x444958 in internal_condition_case () at eval.c:1020
#3  0x420358 in command_loop_2 () at keyboard.c:493
#4  0x4444a0 in internal_catch () at eval.c:814
#5  0x4202f0 in command_loop () at keyboard.c:475
#6  0x41ffe8 in Frecursive_edit () at keyboard.c:362
#7  0x41f958 in main () at emacs.c:506

and the bit of code where it happens looks like this:

(gdb) list
585           /* if shared buffers, then it's going to fail too. */
586           || buffer_shared > 1
587           )
588         return 0;
589
590       p->body[hpos] = c;
591     #ifdef BUTTON
592       p->attrib[hpos] =
593         hpos > 0 ? p->attrib[hpos-1] : get_button(bf_cur,point,0,0,0);
594     #endif

Can anybody help ?

Thanks,
-peter.
