Then, I changed to a PAE kernel, to be able to use the extra RAM for buffer cache (presumably). However, emacs would then dump core. So it may be that the key point is PAE vs non-PAE. So do the official bulk build i386 emacs packages (built on XEN/PAE??) work for anyone, anywhere? Does this issue affect amd64 at all? Or is it just i386?
