My (uneducated) hunch is that desktop-create-buffer doesn't like the
first argument. This argument is a number (which in my email client is
displayed as an 'I' with a diacritical mark above it). When the above
Debugger output is displayed in emacs the number is '\315'. If I look
at this ~/.emacs.desktop file with the "less" command, it is displayed
as "<81><CD>"... for every instance of a buffer. (?)
According to the emacs doc on "desktop-create-buffer", this first arg is
"desktop-file-version"; I don't know what that is and have no idea why
the function "desktop-file-version" doesn't like it.
Anybody able to figure out what this problem is?
