* bug#938: 23.0.60; debug-on-error sometimes fails to debug on error

In emacs -Q, when I evaluate the forms:

   (defun my-err ()
     (error "Err"))

   (toggle-debug-on-error)   

   (add-hook 'post-command-hook 'my-err)

I get:

   Error in post-command-hook: (error Err)

and do not see the debugger.

I'm not sure this is a bug or a feature.  Having `post-command-hook'
actually throw up a debugging window would make Emacs almost unusable,
wouldn't it?

So I think this is a feature, and not a bug, so I'm closing the report.
