Can you reproduce the bug with an .emacs that contains just this form
and nothing else?

Does this occur in `x-display-color-cells'?

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:

Whenever I select "File->New Frame" (C-x 5 2) a new frame does not
appear and I receive the message "Variable binding depth exceeds
max-specpdl-size". 

This seems to be caused by any use of custom-set-faces in the
.emacs file. When I remove the custom-set-faces code from .emacs, the
bug does not occur. 

Example custom-set-faces in .emacs that causes the bug:

     (custom-set-faces
      ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
      ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
      ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
      ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
      '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "DarkSlateGray"
     :foreground "wheat" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through
     nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal
     :height 121 :width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "DejaVu Sans Mono")))))

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'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
