Subject: Emacs 25.1 RC1: incipient insanity, or can't set debug-on-error.
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:34:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160726203450.GA10926@acm.fritz.box> (raw)

Hello, Emacs.

Start RC1 with emacs -Q.

M-: debug-on-error returns t.
C-h v debug-on-error states that the variable has value nil.  How can
  this be?

M-: (setq debug-on-error nil) ; in buffer *scratch*, still.
M-: debug-on-error returns t.  How can this be?

Why does this variable behave so strangely?  Or am I going mad?  Or,
even both?  Should I submit a bug report for this?
