Subject: crash in 20.1b3

I just had my first crash in a long time, on Solaris 2.5.1 with
X11R6.3.  I was in the process of sending an e-mail with VM 6.17.

Here's the crash output:

Fatal error: assertion failed, file lstream.c, line 286, abort()

Fatal error (6).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.

Please report this bug to the address `crashes@xemacs.org'.
*MAKE SURE* to include as much configuration information as
possible; at the very least what OS and hardware you are running
on, and hopefully also what compiler and compiler options the
binary was compiled with, what options XEmacs was compiled with,
whether you are using a prebuilt binary from ftp.xemacs.org or
compiled XEmacs yourself for your system, etc.

If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the
directory in which you started XEmacs, or maybe in your home
directory), and type

  gdb /local/beta/bin/xemacs core

then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB.  A similar procedure should work for all of
these.  Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)

Lisp backtrace follows:

Fatal error: assertion failed, file eval.c, line 1873, abort()


Unfortunately, I just found out that the gdb on this machine is
useless, so I'll send in a stack trace as soon as I get a working gdb
again.
