xemacs20 won't start
I just loaded xemacs20 and tried to run it.
It fails before any window appears. There is no core dump; this is the
error output:
=======================================================================
Fatal error: assertion failed, file elhash.c, line 111, gc_in_progress
Fatal error (6).
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 /usr/bin/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.)
Lisp backtrace follows:

Can anyone tell me how to cure this?

Make it idiot-proof, and someone will breed a better idiot.
