Topic

Updated emacs packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

GNU Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting text editor. It provides
special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability
to read email and news.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the data_space_start value was set inaccurately. As a

consequence, the emacs text editor returned the following memory warning
message:

Emergency (alloc): Warning: past 95% of memory limit

To fix this bug, data_space_start has been set correctly, and emacs no longer
returns warning messages. (BZ#852516)

  • When using the glyph face encoding, a text face was not removed from the

garbage collector. As a consequence, the emacs text editor terminated
unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when attempting to remove the
face. With this update, the text face is also removed from the garbage
collector, and emacs thus no longer crashes in the described scenario.
(BZ#986989)

Users of emacs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
