X-Mailer: mh-e 5.0.90; nmh 1.0.4; Emacs 20.4
In GNU Emacs 21.2.15 (mips-sgi-irix6.5, X toolkit)
of 2002-10-04
configured using `configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu'

Compiled with gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)
Problem seen with binutils 2.13, then I completely uninstalled
binutils and re-compiled gcc (thus configuring to use system ld etc.)
and rebuilt emacs. No change.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Seg fault & core dump on startup.
Believe it or not, the following patch fixes things. Don't ask me why.
