mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Giovanni Piredda <address@hidden>]

It is that. Now TeXmacs starts compiling, then crashes after the window 
appears (without menus).

The first time the error seems this to me (I left it directed to stderr 
and these are the two last lines of the output, I guess the first one is 
output, the second is error)

TeXmacs/texmacs-guile3/src/TeXmacs/progs/version/version-kbd.scm.go
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 28375, errno = 32

I then run it redirecting stderr, it crashes immediately now, if 
interesting can either send you the file with the errors or can paste 
its contents here on the mailing list.
