- I am getting hangs rather frequently with vm. Attaching to the process

-
- [...]
-
- I was in vm summary mode, and I typed 'q'.
-
- I have been bitten by this too, and have turned off extents in VM.
- Their value to me was rather dubious anyway. I've also had crashes
- while:
-
- - recursive edits in the minibuffer
- - hacking elisp using edebug
- - trying to open a new screen
-
- I'm afraid I have had crashes with a frequency >1 a day: I don't know
- if this is `normal' for lucid-emacs users. A weird (and new) one was
- today: I tried to open a new screen, and the screen came out with almost
- zero height (ie just menubar and nothing else). When I tried resizing it,
- boom. The traceback suggests:
