What I wanted to say is that it looks like (what I understand was) the indian.el problem -- some resource is slowly exhausted and so the error manifests itself in some random place afterwards. First I get bootstrap failure at ucs-tables, when I remove ucs-tables I get the same failure at some next module, when I remove that new module -- another one failed. My point was that it looks like ucs-tables or other failed modules have nothing to do with the reason of the error. > Emacs bootstraps (with MinGW) just fine on my XP box.

So I kinda can reproduce your problem, although > it doesn't prevent bootstrapping on my system. Probably it is some interaction with gdb? In my case obtain was called during bootstrap hundreds of time and in your case it failed after three. > I will try to find out why this error message is being printed, but > note that I don't see any such message during the actual bootstrap, > only when I run temacs _after_ bootstrapping. I have not seen *any* error messages during bootstrap -- it just silently failed. -- Regards, ASK
