Now this is funny... XEmacs writes a core file when killed with
`kill -6'.  XEmacs never writes a core file when it's a genuine
crash.  Well, let's see whether anything changes with 20.1-final.

Linux cracks: do I need to get rid of libc 5.4.13?  Could it be
the reason for the critical instability of XEmacs on my system?
