We list bugs in current versions here. See also the section on legacy systems. +*** On Solaris 10, Emacs crashes during the build process. +This was reported for Emacs 25.2 on i386-pc-solaris2.10 with Sun +Studio 12 (Sun C 5.9) and with Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 (Sun C +5.15), and intermittently for sparc-sun-solaris2.10 with Oracle +Developer Studio 12.5 (Sun C 5.14). Disabling compiler optimization +seems to fix the bug, as does upgrading the Solaris 10 operating +system to Update 11. The cause of the bug is unknown: it may be that +Emacs's archaic memory-allocation scheme is not compatible with +slightly-older versions of Solaris and/or Oracle Studio, or it may be +something else. Since the cause is not known, possibly the bug is +still present in newer versions of Emacs, Oracle Studio, and/or +Solaris. See Bug#26638. + *** On Solaris, C-x doesn't get through to Emacs when you use the console. This is a Solaris feature (at least on Intel x86 cpus). Type C-r -- 2.7.4
