Re: pkg/49378: emacs 24.3 gives segmentation fault under virtualbox

Well, I forgot to update the PR. I solved this issue by resizing the stack.

By default it was showing 2048(ulimit -s was 2048)

ulimit -s 8192 #I set stack size as 8192 . 4096 -> failed

This was suggested from this link

 I suspect this is the same problem as PR 46632. In that case,
 compiling emacs yourself should make it go away. Although that's
 a fairly expensive nuisance in a slow VM.

 (Does virtualbox have a 64-bit mode?)
