From: john muhl <jm <at> pub.pink> To: 79193 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#79193: 31.0.50; feature/igc: crashes with no gui frame Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2025 12:09:19 -0500
Recently (since a0757e0ac05) Emacs has been crashing regularly when
running with only tty frames. It could be a coincidence but keeping a
gui frame around has let me run crash free for days, then I get rid of
that frame and within a couple of hours at most Emacs crashes.
I haven’t been able to find a recipe that reliably crashes but hit them
in various everyday usage like C-n in a dired buffer, C-xb otherbuf TAB,
C/M-v, etc. This latest crash was after pressing SPC in a gnus summary
buffer to go the next unread article.
I still have the crashed session attached to gdb around if there is
anything else that would help.
