bootstrap fails with cvs head

bootstrap fails with cvs head

[James H. Cloos Jr.]

the command ./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap is failing today:

Loading loadup.el (source)...
Using load-path (/home/portage/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50/work/emacs/lisp /home/portage/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50/work/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp /home/portage/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50/work/emacs/lisp/language /home/portage/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50/work/emacs/lisp/international /home/portage/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50/work/emacs/lisp/textmodes)
Loading byte-run (source)...
Loading emacs-lisp/backquote (source)...
Loading subr (source)...
Wrong type argument: listp, -130276584

I also tried running it with env -i to erase anything in my
environment; that only changed the last line to:

Wrong type argument: listp, -130289152


Strace shows that the last read(2) call of subr.el is the help text
for (defmacro dolist (spec &rest body)...).

So that suggets the wrong type argment error refers to something in:

(defmacro dolist (spec &rest body)
  "Loop over a list.
Evaluate BODY with VAR bound to each car from LIST, in turn.
Then evaluate RESULT to get return value, default nil.

\(dolist (VAR LIST [RESULT]) BODY...)"
  (declare (indent 1) (debug ((symbolp form &optional form) body)))
  (let ((temp (make-symbol "--dolist-temp--")))
    `(let ((,temp ,(nth 1 spec))
           ,(car spec))
       (while ,temp
         (setq ,(car spec) (car ,temp))
         (setq ,temp (cdr ,temp))
         ,@body)
       ,@(if (cdr (cdr spec))
             `((setq ,(car spec) nil) ,@(cdr (cdr spec)))))))


Is there some way to get a more informative error report from temacs?
