??? Of course you were in "To", take another look.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Drew, you really should report these, and try cooperating in the
resolution of these problems.  There are at least 2 crashes here that
I never saw.

This is assertion violation in redisplay_internal, here:

      eassert (EQ (XFRAME (selected_frame)->selected_window,
                   selected_window));

This crash is probably of the kind you reported in the past, related
to the selected-frame/selected-window issues.

This is a crash in auto-save, which I never saw before:

  for (do_handled_files = 0; do_handled_files < 2; do_handled_files++)
    for (tail = Vbuffer_alist; CONSP (tail); tail = XCDR (tail))
      {
        buf = XCDR (XCAR (tail));
        b = XBUFFER (buf);    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Another assertion violation in redisplay:

static bool
row_equal_p (struct glyph_row *a, struct glyph_row *b, bool mouse_face_p)
{
  eassert (verify_row_hash (a));
  eassert (verify_row_hash (b));  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

> c:\emacs\trunk\src/alloc.c:6440
> c:\emacs\trunk\src/fontset.c:1999

This crash is in fontset-info:

              /* Then store opened font names to cdr of each elements.  */
              for (i = 0; ! NILP (realized[k][i]); i++)
                {
                  if (c <= MAX_5_BYTE_CHAR)
                    val = FONTSET_REF (realized[k][i], c);
                  else
                    val = FONTSET_FALLBACK (realized[k][i]);
                  if (! CONSP (val) || ! VECTORP (XCDR (val)))
                    continue;
                  /* VAL: (int . [[FACE-ID FONT-DEF FONT-OBJECT int] ... ])  */
                  val = XCDR (val);
                  for (j = 0; j < ASIZE (val); j++)
                    {
                      elt = AREF (val, j);
                      if (FONT_OBJECT_P (RFONT_DEF_OBJECT (elt)))  <<<<<<<<<

I don't think I've ever heard about such crashes.
