GNU Emacs 18.55.2 of Tue Feb  6 1990 on payday (berkeley-unix)

Hey folks,

 This may have already been reported but I thought it was subtle
enough that maybe it wasn't.

 (message "% ") 			; up to 18 spaces after the %
     reports an error because the format string is ill-formed.

 (message "%                   ")	; 19 spaces (or more)
     kills Emacs with fatal error 11.
