A couple of notes.  I'm using it with Mule 19.34 libc5 in the office
and XEmacs20.4 libc6 at home.  I seem to remember using it on GNU Emacs 20.3,
but now I can't be too sure.  About 2 days ago I upgraded my system
and GNU Emacs started to core dump on me.  I have the canna dynamic loading
system compiled into it and am using apel for the canna stuff.  That might
be the problem.  I'll try to compile it from source and give it a try.

However, I just used XEmacs20.4 and that edict.el file last night for
my e-mail and I used it in the office with mule 19.34 a few minutes ago.

Note that I cannot byte-compile the edict.el file.  I am running it 
under the interpreter.  If Stephen gets it to byte-compile, this would be
a good thing as it would run a lot faster. Help the world and byte-compile
edict.el.

This move from libc5 to glibc6 is just making life that much more
harder ^h^h^h^h^h  interesting.  

Regards,
Craig
