bug#16680: 24.3; select-frame-set-input-focus: not an in-range integer, float, or cons of integers

[cinsky@gmail.com]

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

In my i686 Gentoo Linux, Emacs 24.3:

Any function/command that uses `select-frame-set-input-focus'
prints following error in "*Messages*" buffer.

  select-frame-set-input-focus: Not an in-range integer, float, or cons of
integers

Note#1: it raises an error, but it does set input focus to
        another frame.  For example,  following sexp seems to
        set input focus to the next frame, but it raises an
        error so that function `message' is not evaluated.

  (progn (select-frame-set-input-focus (next-frame))
         (message "this will not be evaluated"))

Note#2: Another x86_64 Gentoo machine with same configuration
        uses same Emacs package, but has no problem.

Thank you,

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'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
