Comment 5 for bug 56782

I've just started seeing continual crashes of Emacs,
but 21.4a-6ubuntu2 doesn't fix them. I'm building
a debug version now to try to fix it, but can you
tell me what this undocumented -fno-stack-protector flag does, and what you think
the problem is? Is it due to a kernel change
like the Redhat stuff that was never adequately
explained? I ask because I'm probably as expert
as anyone on Emacs dumping and allocation and
I need to restore a working Emacs quickly, so
I'll work on sorting it out.

I'm not seeing the same problem on my edgy
laptop as I am on a very similar system on my
desktop. Also, Emacs is unusable under X in edgy
anyway without fixing the font paths per my
patch under #63408, sigh...
