[OS X Emacs] Unknown Color - Aquamacs 2.0

[David Reitter]

Evan,

a few color codes have changed between Carbon Emacs 22 and Cocoa (NS) Emacs 23.
This should not really lead to crashes...

If you compile with

./configure --with-ns CFLAGS='-g -O0'
make install

you should get good traces so you can pinpoint the location of the `abort' or crash.

gdb can help, too (but compile it as above for best results).

Hope that helps.

- David
