@ -244,28 +244,6 @@ frame on another X display, then a Gtk+ error happens in the emacs
server that results in an endless loop. This is not fixed in any known
Gtk+ version (2.14.4 being current).
** Emacs compiled with Gtk+ crashes on startup on Cygwin.
A typical error message is
***MEMORY-ERROR***: emacs[5172]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes
(alignment: 512): Function not implemented
Emacs supplies its own malloc, but glib (part of Gtk+) calls memalign and on
Cygwin, that becomes the Cygwin supplied memalign. As malloc is not the
Cygwin malloc, the Cygwin memalign always returns ENOSYS.
One workaround is to set G_SLICE=always-malloc before starting emacs.
For example, in bash,
G_SLICE=always-malloc emacs
or put
export G_SLICE=always-malloc
in one of the bash startup files. This also has to be done before
building emacs on Cygwin with Gtk+.
* General runtime problems
** Lisp problems
