+This is a bug that comes from the upstream Emacs source (20.6 at least). I
+recently upgraded to XFree86 4.0, which can have more than 5 mouse
+buttons (my mouse has 6). However, when the sixth button is pressed,
+Emacs crashes. In fact, it aborts deliberately: there is code in
+src/keyboard.c that does this if the button number is less than
+NUM_MOUSE_BUTTONS, which is defined in termhooks.h as 5. I *think*
+that if the NUM_MOUSE_BUTTONS was defined to be, say, 10, nothing
+would go wrong. (It works so far...)
+
+This error occurs with the 20.5-3 release in Mandrake 7.0 and the
+20.6-2 release in the Mandrake Cooker. I have sent in a bug report to
+the upstream emacs maintainers, but here is a suggested patch:

+some structures which depend on button being less than
+NUM_MOUSE_BUTTONS.
+
+I hope this helps.
