In 2.3.3.1 Basic Char Syntax of Emacs Lisp Reference, I can not
understant the last sentence in parenthesis.

`\ ' is equal `space'. Why need an extra space after `\ ' to seperate
it from the following text.

Thanks

please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.

Because spaces are also used to separate Lisp objects.  For such
