The crash was on exiting DJGPP EMACS 19.34, from FILES menu / Exit
Emacs.
I typically run a compute-intensive Win32 CLI application called LVB for a
few days, during which I use EMACS heavily, DJGPP ports of GNU tools such
as RCS, LESS and GCC, also Ensemble CD and occasionally Windows 98 dial-up
connection software, Telnet, FTP, Internet Explorer, Excel, PowerPoint,
YAP and GS View. I asusme due to some resource leak, the computer
typically gets slower and slower, becoming almost unbearable after about a
week without re-boot. Perhaps there is a memory leak, since allocated
memory gets higher and higher, according to System Monitor. However, the
computer was running fast at the time of this crash, because little other
than LVB had been run since the last boot. Only recently had the 64 MB of
physical RAM been used up, probably following brief use of Excel. None of
Telnet, FTP or Internet Explorer had been used since the previous boot
almost 3 days ago, because, when the computer was last switched off, I had
put the it so far from the phone socket that connection was impossible
with my cable.
Dr Watson for Windows 98 was running and generated a snapshot for the
time of the crash. Selected extracts follow. I would be happy to send
the whole snapshot file to anyone who would like to see it, as an
e-mail attachment.
