Well, I have also installed the latest 2 sumos. XEmacs is not crashing
for me. But hey, it could of course depend on the special lisp packages
you're using from the sumos. Actually I use a lot of them but not all.

Is it possible for you to find out which lisp packages you have loaded
when the crash occurs. Sure, you're not using all of them ...

rebasing has definitely nothing to do with the sumo packages, but with
the dll's XEmacs is using.
