Yikes! I just found a pretty serious error. I'm using epoch 3.2 on a SPARCstation 1+, and have been for a while. I don't think that I've done this before, but now that I saw it, I can reproduce it every time. I type <Meta-%> to do a query-replace, then type the string starting with "<Cntl-q><Cntl-j>". Once I hit that <Cntl-j>, epoch dumps core on me. I don't know why this happens, since I'm not a gnuC hacker only sort of a gnuLisp one. It's really easy to reproduce, in case you enjoy huge core files. Anyway, I don't know where to send bugs to, so I figured that sending it here would be a good start. At least, no one will make the same mistake that I made. Of course, if it's something that I'm doing wrong, please let me know. I have never had a problem doing this in emacs, but the backtrace looks like it's a display thing. So here's the dbx back-trace that I got: -------------------------------- <164> bach% dbx epoch ~/core Reading symbolic information...
