In a situation like this does it help to do either C-x 5 2 to make a new frame and delete the old one, or C-x 1 to display only one window? If either of this makes the messages disappear, the bug could be in the window handling code. > The specific error message that I listed above: > > window-min-size-1: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size > > occurred when I tried to `C-SPC C-h M-w' the *Message* buffer.

Is that intentional?) I don't know. Looking at the code of `report-emacs-bug' I don't see a call to remove a window but maybe I'm missing something. martin
