Emacs 21.1 on Tru64-5.1 crash

[Jeremie Petit]

Hello,

  I cannot easily reproduce and there doesn't seem to be particular
information on the problem.

  My Emacs: V21.1.1, compiled on Tru64-5.1, native compiler (details
come hereafter).

  Symptom: I'm pressing some keys (last time was C-x k RET) while emacs
seems a little buzy (cannot see any prompt for buffer in modeline) and
emacs exits:

-----
[petit@iahhel]~: emacs&
[1] 351155
[petit@iahhel]~: X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
on protocol request 8
[1]  + 351155 exit 70    emacs
-----

  I don't know what I can do more to help you. It happened about three
times today, but I'm not certain it's the keypressing that causes the
problem, it's possible emacs is already 'dying' when I hit my keys.
  Please suggest any direction so that I can be able to give you more
information the next time it happens!

Thanks,

    Jeremie Petit
