Here are my cflags: "-m486 -g -O4 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-loops=2
-malign-functions=2" - so if I should actually manage to get a
core some day, it will have line numbers.

At the moment I'm starting XEmacs in a xterm, which says this
about the core file size:

4-tea-2:~ $ ulimit -c
unlimited

Anybody got an idea why XEmacs fails to produce core files for me?
Is there a way to make XEmacs crash fast?  Then I could perhaps
use strace to locate the problem.  This is most confusing...

That would explain why XEmacs prefers to break while I'm browsing
xemacs-beta - there are much more X-Faces to display there than
in any other mail/newsgroup I'm subscribed to.

Is this... [ ] a known problem
           [ ] a new problem
           [ ] a local problem of bong.saar.de
           [ ] your problem
           [ ] my problem
           [ ] all of the above?
