bug#13359: 23.4; bad text pointer cursor: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

[micah]

Hi,

I have a simple function defined that makes a frame and calls
'org-capture' when it is invoked:

(defun make-capture-frame ()
  "Create a new frame and run org-capture."
  (interactive)
  (make-frame '((name . "capture") (width . 80 ) (height . 10)))
  (select-frame-by-name "capture")
  (org-capture)
  (delete-other-windows)
)

I do M-x server-start, and then I use emacsclient to call this function
(so I can bind a key in my window manager to call it and have a window
pop up anywhere). 

Everything works great! Except... at some point it stops working at all.

So, when it stops, I go to a shell and execute the emacsclient line to
see if I can figure out what is going on:

$ emacsclient --eval '(make-capture-frame)'
*ERROR*: bad text pointer cursor: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
$

I have no idea what this means, or how to debug it. I can still run M-x
org-capture, so that seems to still work, but otherwise I'm puzzled...

At the moment, I'm getting that *ERROR* and so am running M-x
report-emacs-bug. If I restart emacs, it will go away, for a while. 

Any debugging or additional information I can offer will be gladly
provided!

Thanks,
Micah

bug#13359: Acknowledgement (23.4; bad text pointer cursor: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation))

[micah]

As a follow-up to this issue, I get the following in my minibuffer when
I attempt to do M-x new-frame:

x-create-frame-with-faces: bad text pointer cursor: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

bug#13359: Confirming occurrence of this issue in Emacs 24.3.1

[K. Arun]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5205 bytes --]

Hello,

I can confirm this happens with my instance of Emacs 24.3.1 as well. At
some point after Emacs is launched as a daemon, I lose the ability to
create new frames. Typically, there will be a mix of mu4e, Clojure, nrepl
and org-mode buffers open. It does not matter how I try to create a new
frame - (M-x new-frame, C-x 5 b *scratch*, C-x 5 f <filename>) - all fail
with the following error :

x-create-frame-with-faces: bad text pointer cursor: BadValue (integer
parameter out of range for operation)

This is on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installation with a self-compiled Emacs
23.4. An edited version of emacs-report-bug output follows.
