Re: Emacs crashes unless using -nw option

Hmm, the copy of configure I have (emacs-21.3) has no 
reference to "nocombreloc".  Nor does that string appear
in any file in the top level (same level where configure lives)
directory.

The closest code segment I could find is:

  1954  echo "$ac_t""$ac_cv_prog_cc_g" 1>&6
  1955  if test "$ac_test_CFLAGS" = set; then
  1956    CFLAGS="$ac_save_CFLAGS"
  1957  elif test $ac_cv_prog_cc_g = yes; then
  1958    if test "$GCC" = yes; then
  1959      CFLAGS="-g -O2"
  1960    else
  1961      CFLAGS="-g"
  1962    fi
  1963  else
  1964    if test "$GCC" = yes; then
  1965      CFLAGS="-O2"
  1966    else
  1967      CFLAGS=
  1968    fi
  1969  fi

I picked up my copy of the emacs-21.3.tar.gz file from 
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/
on October 1st.

[ratbert] [9:13]# md5sum emacs-21.3.tar.gz
