The problem is not easily reproduced, and results in some trashed data having to do with fonts. I can't tell whether it's Emacs' own font data or actually data that belongs to the system. I can get into the debugger, and look around, but I don't know what I'm looking for. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
