Re: Segfault when calling network-interface-info on OpenBSD

[Richard M. Stallman]

Can you examine the immediate cause of the crash?  What data is invalid?



Symptoms:

Evaluating (network-interface-info "rl0") (rl0 is a network interface on
this machine) causes Emacs to segfault with the below backtrace on an
OpenBSD 3.8 system.
