I got a popup saying
"Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault"
Stack window shows "_size_of_stack_reserve__" 

unfortunately, I can't get further than that -- I think it's because of
the odd structure of an xemacs executable -- in-built lisp data +
interpreter, this wierd "dumping" process it does to itself when
building, etc...

Now, maybe I'm blowing bull patties, but I can't even get the source
window to show anything but assembler -- because "xemacs.exe" is a
dumped executable generated by "temacs.exe" which loads a bunch of lisp
code and data and then "dumps" an image of itself to disk during the
build.

So, gdb shows *me* nothing -- which is why I asked if anyone could make
a *guess* as to why a program will run fine under a bash shell, but
stackdump when run from a DOS box (or within gdb).
