An emacs (18.55.4) autoload bug bit me. To repeat:
% emacs -q

enter: (apply (symbol-function 'rmail) '("RMAIL"))^J
yields Segmentation fault
This isn't a bug in autoloading. It is a bug in the following functions:
apply, eval, funcall, call-interactively, command-execute, and possibly a
few others.
All of them ought to check for this condition. Also, since each of these
functions are almost the same, perhaps some of the code should be
consolidated, so this task can be done right in exactly one place. Now,
whenever I have time to work on this ...
