Message-ID: <54396A9E.3070907@cornell.edu> Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2014 13:36:30 -0400 From: Ken Brown User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.1.2 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: cygwin Subject: HEADSUP to Emacs users Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes In a continuing effort to track down the cause of the mysterious crashes that some Emacs users have reported, I'm now wondering if these are caused by the stack being too small. If you have been experiencing crashes, please issue the following command (as administrator, while emacs is not running): peflags -x0x80000 /usr/bin/emacs-*.exe This increases the stack size to 8MB. And please let me know if you see any improvement as a result. Thanks.
