SUMMARY
Reproducible fatal error when certain elisp is evaluated.
Effects vary slightly on machines tested, but fatal on all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EFFECTS
DEC-3100 Ultrix Worksystem V2.0 (Rev. 7)
GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Sat Oct 7 1989 on curie (berkeley-unix)
...gives "Fatal error (10)."
then "pid 4495 (xemacs) was killed on unaligned access, at pc 0x43beac"
VAX-VMS 5.1-1
GNU Emacs 18.53.3 of Thu Jun 22 1989 on _CSD (vax-vms)

Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.5
GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Sat Oct 7 1989 on alpha (berkeley-unix)

(no Fatal error message appears)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO REPRODUCE
1. Start with "emacs -q".
2. Type one of the following Evil lisp expressions into *scratch* buffer
and press `LFD' after it. Also occurs when entered using `Meta-ESC'
in the minibuffer. Also, `Meta-X eval-current-buffer' will die.
3. Evil expression A:
((lambda (1) nil) nil)
Evil expression B: (accepts defun, dies when called thus)
(defun foo (1) nil)
==>foo
(foo nil)
