[I'm resending in case the original message was blocked by a spam
filter: In my original email, I attached a message file that was
causing the bug. That file was a spam message I had received and I
got worried it would cause my message to be blocked. I've attached
the problem file here in gzipped form only so hopefully it won't
trigger spam filters.]
Bug: kill-ring-save (M-w) gives "Args out of range"
---------------------------------------------------
To reproduce:
emacs emacs.bug.file.txt
M-> [Go to end of file]
M-w [Copy entire buffer]
Very weird. Discovered on the attached spam mail message which also
caused my POP connection to time out.
Note on Bug file
----------------
I re-saved the problem message into a .txt file, but when I attached
it, Microsoft Outlook still insisted on interpreting it as a message
file. I don't know if that will cause you problems, so I also attached
a gzipped copy if that works better.
Version
-------
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2003-03-27 on buffy
Error message (from *Messages* buffer)
--------------------------------------
x-select-text: Args out of range: #^[t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil
...], -14464
Other info
----------
Saw problem on Win XT and Win 2000.
Started emacs from cygwin window, MSDOS window, and from a file-type
association defined in Windows Explorer.
There are no "LC_..." environment variables defined.

It looks like this has to do with sending the selection to X.
It did not fail for me in the latest Emacs development sources.
Can you try building them and see if it still fails?
