I've only been glancing at this thread, but my attention was caught
by the last sentence. I am running xemacs 21.4.5, which I compiled
from the xemacs.org source distribution, just following the
prescribed configure/make/install procedure. Not using Fink.
I did have a stack size/regex problem, which I solved by recompiling with
malloc (but long enough ago that I've forgotten the details).
Don't know if this info will help anyone...
