Note that there are two bugs: one is only present in 18.57 (and maybe 18.56); this one causes the redisplay bug, but could potentially have other disastrous effects. The other one is also present in 18.55 and causes emacs to crash there, because there is an explicit check. The check is no longer in 18.57, but the bug is still there and could similarly do a lot of harm at yet unknown times. -- Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl>
