It made the code compile and run, but when I started X, XEmacs did not open (I had been running XEmacs on the console before that, no problem).
When I manually tried to start XEmacs it got a segmentation fault. Now, this might be due to a bug in XEmacs which the new kernel shows, I guess. Really, I have no idea - but I am not going on without XEmacs, so I reverted the patch.
What kind of debugging information can be of help in a situation like this? I did an strace but it seems like I redirected it to somewhere I cannot locate now :-(. The last call was something with |ASYNC or'ed in the arguments, I think. Not much help, I know. Before I run the bad kernel again I would like to know what other information might be useful?
