Cool!  You found a way to let the kernel kill XEmacs. (c:  If you
leave it running instead of typing `C-g' it will eventually suck up
all memory and get killed.  (At least in my case where I tested it
with a version of circ.tex the content of which I copied and pasted
several times into the buffer.)  It is related to stuff like that:

(let (arg pos)
  (dotimes (i 100000)
    (setq arg (concat arg "foo\n")))
    (while (setq pos (string-match "\\s<.*[\n\r][ \t]*" arg pos))
      (setq arg (replace-match "" t t arg 0))))

But that's only a symptom ...

preview-latex with cygwin, xemacs and tetex 3 does not work

For a long time I used preview-latex 0.91 on windows xp pro+cygwin with 
xemacs 21.4.17 and tetex 2.02 and everything was fine.
Upgrading to tetex 3.03 and recompiling preview-latex it installs fine, but 
when previewing a document I get the error message
"no preview images" which means something went wrong. The log files do not 
show anything wrong, but I can see that the temporary
directory with the images was not created. Any clues? Did anyone succeed to 
have preview-latex work with that configuration?
Downgrading tetex to version 2.02 and recompiling preview-latex make it work 
again as before. I used the same latex document in all tests.

My guess would be that you have a version of preview.sty in your
search path that is too old to work with the current preview-latex.
But I think that the log files should mention that, or it should be
apparent from the run buffer you get with C-c C-l.

Incidentally, had you used M-x preview-report-bug RET as mentioned in
the docs and available from the menus, we'd have gotten more
information.

The latest version of preview-latex is AUCTeX 11.81, by the way
(preview-latex now is bundled).

11.81; preview-latex not activated for XEmacs

Does for anybody else preview-latex fail to be activated after a
simple
./configure --with-xemacs
make
make install
?

I get an auto-autoloads.el file in
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages/lisp/auctex which includes only
autoloads for AUCTeX, not for preview-latex.  In
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages/lisp/auctex there is no
auto-autoloads.el file.

The `make install' call will descend into the "preview" directory and
eventually call `make install-metadata'.  But this call will
update/install only AUCTeX's auto-autoloads.el.  In contrast, if you
do this by hand, i.e. change into the "preview" directory and call
`make install-metadata' yourself, an auto-autoloads.el file will be
created in /usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages/lisp/preview.  I don't
know if such a file is actually supposed to be created or if the
preview-latex autoloads should be added to AUCTeX's auto-autoloads.el.

In case anybody else is seeing this and this is not just a fault on my
side, the bug is pretty severe because the call to
 (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'LaTeX-preview-setup)
will be missing and the other documented way of activating
preview-latex by loading preview-latex.el will not work because such a
file is not present for XEmacs.

I guess the machinery worked at some point of time because I haven't

I checked in such a fix.

It doesn't fail here.  That's just a warning.  Maybe the installation
of your TeX system is broken.  I'd check that with a minimal example
file and a regular LaTeX run, not preview-latex.
