There is another related discussion in gnu.emacs.bug entitled: "emacs aborts after asking for RMAIL-summary" . Would it make sense to copy that discussion here? In any case I'll repeat a question I asked there: Piet van Oostrum writes: > The following is a scenario to crash emacs 18.55. > > Get two windows on your screen, one contains some text and point at the end > of the buffer. The other one contains the following code: > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > (save-restriction > (set-buffer (window-buffer (next-window))) > (goto-char (point-max)) > (narrow-to-region 1 2) > (delete-other-windows)) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Now eval the above lisp expression in that buffer (e.g. with > eval-current-buffer) and emacs will crash. Does it seem likely that the same bug that caused this would cause random aborts not right after a buffer switch? My latest incident was while editing a reply in vm. - Len Weisberg - HP Corp Computing & Services - weisberg@corp.HP.COM
