>Description:
	Twice today I had a timed out gnus connection crash XEmacs.
	I let my gnus connection go idle for an hour or two, I came
	back to my computer, and hit "g" to refresh my gnus session.
	Whammo!  XEmacs crashed with the following backtrace, but
	no core file.
Fatal error (13).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
 
Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included
with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu.
As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes@xemacs.org'.
*MAKE SURE* to include as much configuration information as
possible; at the very least what OS and hardware you are running
on, and hopefully also what compiler and compiler options the
binary was compiled with, what options XEmacs was compiled with,
whether you are using a prebuilt binary from ftp.xemacs.org or
compiled XEmacs yourself for your system, etc.
 
If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the
directory in which you started XEmacs, or maybe in your home
directory), and type
 
  gdb /pd/src/gnu/xemacs-20.3-b19/Solaris/src/xemacs core
 
then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB.  A similar procedure should work for all of
these.  Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)
