In Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac OS X 10.9.3, nlinum 1.4 causes a debugger error
on Emacs launch, when the following configuration setting is used.

~/.emacs:

(require 'nlinum)
(global-nlinum-mode)

The bug does not occur in windowed (GUI) mode, but appears quite
visciously in ncurses (CLI) mode.

In Mac OS X, the resulting debugger message looks like:

$ emacs -nw

"Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading
`/Users/andrew/.emacs':
error: OpenStep is not in use or not initialized
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace."

What's more, after this message appears, C-x C-c is no longer accepted
as a valid hotkey for quitting Emacs to the shell. As a workaround, I'm
currently closing the terminal tab/window and launching new ones.


In GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.4.1, NS apple-appkit-1187.39)
 of 2013-09-20 on Andrews-MacBook-Air.local
Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1265
Configured using:
 `configure '--prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.3' '--without-dbus'
 '--enable-locallisppath=/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp'
 '--infodir=/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.3/share/info/emacs'
 '--without-gnutls' '--with-ns' '--disable-ns-self-contained' 'CC=cc''

Important settings:
  locale-coding-system: nil
  default enable-multibyte-characters: t

Major mode: Fundamental

Cheers,
