 When I instead type "sudo port install xemacs at 21.4.22" it installs version
 "xemacs-21.5.16".

 Ok, never mind that suggestion then. You cannot specify which version you
 want to install at the command line; the only way to get older ones is
 described here: [wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort].

 If this version is crashing all the time, I guess we'll need to go back to
 21.4.22, as I assume that it is due to bugs as opposed to anything we can
 fix in the packaging. (Incidentally, note that there are also other emacs
 ports, such as emacs-mac-app, which is what I typically use.)

 Do you have an opinion on the issue in #19833, namely whether 21.4.22 was
 able to work with the sumo packages?
