Bug#595256: Emacs aborts with maximized windows, small font size, large resolution: line-number-display-limit-width triggers the bug
Although I could not test for debian, I was able to observe the bug on cygwin with a newer emacs: $ emacs --version GNU Emacs 23.3.1 ... $ cat .emacs ;(setq line-number-display-limit-width 860) ;(setq line-number-display-limit-width 855) If exactly the upper line is uncommented, the bug is triggered on loading a large file, making font size 6, perssing Ctrl-1 to remove the second part of the window with the welcome screen, and pressing PgDn to scroll down the large file. If exactly the lower line is uncommented, the bug is not triggered on this operation. Which suggest a workaround, though not a bug fix. As soon as I will be able to test a newer emacs on debian, I'll report here. Cheers! Jaakov. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#595256: Emacs aborts with maximized windows, small font size, large resolution: line-number-display-limit-width triggers the bug
If you can run packages from unstable, could you see if you can still reproduce this with 23.3+1-1? Currently I can't do unstable installations onto stable squeeze (critical production environment and production time till, probably, June 2011). As soon as I can, I will report here; before that I'm sorry for not being able to help much. I would ask you to keep the bug open in the meantime, unless you are absolutely sure to have fixed the bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

What font are you selecting? i.e. size 6 of what font? Of Monospace, Regular style. I'm using the latest version available from debian today, which a version ending with -5.1. ... if emacs still crashes if you run it with -q No, emacs 23.2+1-5.1 behaves ok with -q option. and/or --no-site-file? Yes, emacs 23.2+1-5.1 crashes with --no-site-file Small update on reproducibility: when opening a file which already holds more lines than the screen can hold, one has to press Page Down to make emacs abort. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This suggests that the problem may be triggered by something in your ~/.emacs file. Can you try enabling and disabling sections of the code in there to try to find the bit that's causing the crash?
