Looks like some code trie to save some kind of history (maybe history
variables) and it does it by pretty-printing the value but the value is not
fully printed because it's too long so it ends up with a `...' which later
causes the above error.

Try the set "Options => Enter Debugger on Error" and then reproduce the
error, this should put you in a *backtrace* buffer where you'll get a bit
more information.  If you don't understand this info, post it here.
