I am running GNU Emacs 18.55 under X-windows on a SPARC station 1
(version Jul 19 1987), unfortunately I can't tell how I got this bug.
I am using emacs together with Franz' Allegro Common Lisp. The
emacs-status-line was no more updated and the minnibuffer displayed
for ca. one second the following message:

peculiar error: commandp, (#<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777601) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug> #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777605  Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug> #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777605  Save your ...

This happened while entering a command after M-x. There were no more
completions, and C-g (to exit M-x command-input mode) just caused a
"peculiar error" (together with a beep)

- pressing the left mouse-button in my buffer-window caused a
double-beep and the following message:
peculiar error: commandp, x-flush-mouse-queue

- C-h caused a beep and the following message:
peculiar error: commandp, help-command

- C-x C-c displayed the following message:
peculiar error: listp, (#<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777601) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>

- kill-emacs didn't work either

I hope that helps to identify the bug...
-Nick.
