bug#5011: 23.1.50; The {}\ characters seems to be impossible to write in non-terminal mode on Mac OS X

[Jules Colding]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

Using Emacs in terminal mode (with -nw) on Mac OS X is very pleasant,
but it is impossible to write the {}\ characters in non-terminal
mode. These characters are available in terminal mode using:

S-Alt-7 -> '\'
S-Alt-8 -> '{'
S-Alt-9 -> '}'

Using the same character sequence in non-terminal mode gives:

S-Alt-7 -> M-/
S-Alt-8 -> M-(
S-Alt-9 -> M-)

Best regards,
 jules

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
   `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
