["Drew Adams" <drew.adams@oracle.com>]

emacs -Q
 
Evaluate these sexps, in turn:
 
(setq default-frame-alist
      '((font . "-*-Lucida Console-normal-r-*-*-14-112-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1")))
 
(defun foo ()
  "..."
  (interactive)
  (setq pop-up-frames  t)
  (setq minibuffer-frame-alist (append foooo minibuffer-frame-alist)))
 
(foo)
 
You get this error message - nothing more:
 
 Stack overflow in equal

(Note that foooo is an unbound variable.)  This bug is new with this binary.
The windows binary posted on 6/28 has no such problem.
