Re: crash on powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0

[Richard M. Stallman]

    Yep, there will be crashes whenever Emacs tries to call xfree or
    xrealloc on pointers returned by any libc functions that return
    malloced memory. This has always been the case on AIX for as far I can
    see in the CVS history. So it was just by chance that we never had a
    crash until recently because of this. 

I don't see anything that we have done to solve the problem.
So I am surprised it worked in the past.
