I got the executable xemacs making the same changes that anybody else
who tried but when I start it with "xemacs" it open a clear window which
does not display anything or takes any input, I can sit in front of it
half an hour and nothing happen. If I start it with "xemacs file"
then it core dump. 
I tried to dbx it in both cases and got the following:

case 1: 
(after I interrupt  with ^C)

interrupt in unnamed block $b667 at line 455 in file "gmalloc.c"
  455             i = _heapinfo[i].free.prev;

print i
231 (which is always the same)


In the second case (call with a file)


it does not core dump if I run it under dbx but does otherwise.

 xemacs emacs.c
Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault(coredump)

then dbx xemacs, and where gives the following result:

segmentation violation in fatal_error_signal at line 145 in file "emacs.c"
  145     kill (getpid (), fatal_error_code);


does anyone know what I did wrong ? 
thanks
