I was using mh-e in GNUemacs version 18.52 on a SUN-3, when, after doing a "x" command, it said: wrong type argument natnump: #<EMACS BUG:Illegal Datatype (#037777777665) and then something about reporting this to the GNU project. So I'm doing it. I have _no_ idea what died. --chet-- murthy@svax.cs.cornell.edu

I seem to have encountered a GNU Emacs 18.55 bug on our HP 9000/840; the debugger backtrace and dribble file follow. They were generated on a emacs process started up with the "-q" option. The problem is reproducible: I load Edward Reingold's calendar package (I can mail a copy if it's needed) and enter/exit it 4 times. If I enter it a 5th time, emacs garbage-collects, and signals the following error if I attempt to exit. -------- Backtrace -------- Signalling: (wrong-type-argument window-configuration-p #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777765) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>) set-window-configuration(#<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777765) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>) (progn ...) (if ...) (let ...) exit-calendar() * call-interactively(exit-calendar) -------- Dribble File -------- xset var --------------------------- The problem may be specific to this machine hardware; it doesn't happen on a VAX. If you need access to our machine for debugging, or need more information, I'll be glad to help. -- Kamat
