If am right.

I'm trying to bisect - I'm using the following bisect script


git clean -xf --exclude "phil*"

./autogen.sh
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig ./configure
make -j 20


The --exclude "phil*" is just to stop git clean from deleting my bisect
script. The make -j 20 is because Andrew said he was getting issues with
-j > 0.

I seem to get this crash a lot:

ja-dic.el is seriously ill. It has lots of ^M's all over the place and
the japanese characters are like so: "\344\202\222".

I am also seeing:

make[2]: Entering directory '/d/home/msys-emacs/git/master-copy/leim'
  GEN      ../lisp/leim/ja-dic/ja-dic.el
Symbol's function definition is void: char-displayable-p

Popping up periodically.

I haven't been able to try your patch yet, I am afraid.
