Thank you for the report. It does not seem to be a bug in any
particular lisp function, as if I run snake using the lisp debugger,
Emacs does not crash. The stack trace suggests a timing problem in
redisplay.

This problem doesn't appear under current CVS, so I think this is
probably related to another bug that has been fixed already.

NTEmacs crashes with silly.el

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-windows98.3000)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When i want to run snake-big-play from silly.el (posted recently on
gnu.emacs.sources) Emacs crashes with a fatal exception. First i
thought it was some problem with sit-for, but I can reproduce it
without as well.

To reproduce:

- start emacs with "emacs -q"
- open a file containing the following text (using C-x C-f bug.el)

(setq snake-height 44
      snake-width 98
      snake-buffer-height 46
      snake-buffer-width 100)
(snake)

- run M-x eval-buffer RET.
- voilà, Emacs crashed.
