    Visit an empty buffer in a fresh --no-init emacs.  Set debug-on-error
to true and type a control -f.  An `end of buffer error will appear in the
echo area but no backtrace.  Type control-x control-x and a `No mark set in
this buffer' error message appears and causes a backtrace.

    Alternatively in the same circumstances, evaluate

        (progn (setq aa 1) (forward-char 1) (setq bb 2))

The variable aa now has the value 1 and bb is undefined.


    This seems to be true in emacs 21 on both Solaris and MacOs X.
Forward-char wasn't meant to produce an untrapped error was it?

C-h v debug-ignored-errors

debug-ignored-errors is documented in the Emacs Lisp manual immediately
following debug-on-error.
