Just wondering if anyone has ever seen/can explain the following error messages from epoch: Holy PH Batman, the buffer's missing! ** Buffer type is 1 [1] + IOT trap epoch (core dumped) This occured with Epoch 4.2 on a SPARC 2 runing SunOS 4.1.1. It happened after I did (kill-buffer (current-buffer)) (remove-screen) which I have bound to a keypress on a screen which contained a buffer also displayed in the other open screen. Epoch beeped a couple times, gave the Batman error message, froze and then gave up the ghost with a dump. I've been using this versio of epoch for a long time now and this is the first time it's done anything this strange. Curiously, Alan. -- Alan Conway <alan@hdl.ie> Hitachi Dublin Laboratory, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland.

From a commercial vendor, you would have gotten something like: Error 15645: MB/PH ????? *** BT 1 and you still wouldn't know what the hell was going on, at least now you can laugh. :) --Andy

I do not know what causes it but in the year that I have been using Epoch this shows up about once a month. All I need to do is restart Epoch and I am back in business. -- Nick Beeson nick@heimdall.med.harvard.edu

It means that epoch has become *totally corrupt* in its internal buffer structures and is going to die. This is one of those 'this should never happen' errors, thus the wierd error message. Since epoch is about to be obsoleted by the epoch/lemacs merge I doubt we will fix it :-) (since people are going to ask, I am running a very pre-alpha now, but it dumps a lot... a few more days are needed :-) hopefully by late summer there will be something worth distributing. .
