Maybe we found something. I've posted a few times about crashes I've been getting with emacs (emacs-X 24.3 under CYGWIN, not emacs-w32) since late last year. I've been having a very hard time getting any good information on these cra= shes, but the most common piece of evidence that I've had has been timer errors. I've seen errors about (seconds-to-time) like you, but others as well. Things like this: time-add: Wrong type argument: vectorp, [type high low micro pico 0 1 2= 3 encode-time-value] are also common. (And, well, that looks like a vector to me.) Perhaps we have found something. If so, I'd love to get it resolved, but it's been very elusive. ,Douglas Douglas Lewan Shubert Ticketing (201) 489-8600 ext 224 LISP: The most intelligent way to misuse a computer.
