+** Emacs crashes on startup after a glibc upgrade.
+
+This is caused by a binary incompatible change to the malloc
+implementation in glibc 2.5.90-22. As a result, Emacs binaries built
+using prior versions of glibc crash when run under 2.5.90-22.
+
+This problem was first seen in pre-release versions of Fedora 7, and
+may be fixed in the final Fedora 7 release. To stop the crash from
+happening, first try upgrading to the newest version of glibc; if this
+does not work, rebuild Emacs with the same version of glibc that you
+will run it under. For details, see

* Crash bugs
** Emacs crashes in x-popup-dialog.
Emacs*Foreground
Emacs*Background
+It is also reported that a bug in the gtk-engines-qt engine can cause this if
+Emacs is compiled with Gtk+.
+The bug is fixed in version 0.7 or newer of gtk-engines-qt.

*** KDE: Emacs hangs on KDE when a large portion of text is killed.
This is caused by a bug in the KDE applet `klipper' which periodically
Mac OS X that causes process output to be truncated. To avoid this,
leave process-connection-type set to its default value of nil.

+Some QuickTime updaters such as 7.0.4 and 7.2.0 are known to break
+build at the link stage with the message like "Undefined symbols:
+_HICopyAccessibilityActionDescription referenced from QuickTime
+expected to be defined in Carbon". A workaround is to use a QuickTime

well, since the Windows port uses a Lisp emulation of `ls' that relies
on `file-attributes'.
+Sound playing is not supported with the `:data DATA' key-value pair.
+You _must_ use the `:file FILE' method.

the file, and then reconfigure and rebuild Emacs. The dumping process
should now succeed.
+*** OpenBSD 4.0 macppc: Segfault during dumping.
+
+The build aborts with signal 11 when the command `./temacs --batch
+--load loadup bootstrap' tries to load files.el. A workaround seems
+to be to reduce the level of compiler optimization used during the
+build (from -O2 to -O1). It is possible this is an OpenBSD
+GCC problem specific to the macppc architecture, possibly only
+occurring with older versions of GCC (e.g. 3.3.5).

** Installation
*** Installing Emacs gets an error running `install-info'.
Using directory paths with spaces is not supported at this time: you
must re-configure without using spaces.
+*** Installing to a directory with non-ASCII characters in the name fails.
+
+Installation may fail, or the Emacs executable may not start
+correctly, if a directory name containing non-ASCII characters is used
+as a `configure' argument (e.g. `--prefix'). The problem can also
+occur if a non-ASCII directory is specified in the EMACSLOADPATH
+envvar.
