Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-03-11 on NYAUMO configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.2)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: ENZ locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I have recently started using Emacs version 21.3 after a long period with Emacs 20.7. When I execute the following sexp: (error "foo") It always enters the debugger, irrespective of the value of debug-on-error I worked out a way of disabling this behaviour: (defadvice error (before fix-bug activate) (setq debug-on-error nil)) This works but I would like to know why the problem arose in the first place!
