This is in trunk, right?  IIUC, emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org is for
reporting bugs in pre-release versions.

   That said, I saw the same problem, but doing:

	make maintainer-clean
	./configure
	make bootstrap

cleared it up.

I used M-x report-emacs-bug

AFAIK emacs-pretest-bug is now an alias for emacs-devel

Thanks.  I think it's not the first time I read this advice.  Should we
add a note to INSTALL.CVS?

   I used M-x report-emacs-bug

   AFAIK emacs-pretest-bug is now an alias for emacs-devel

And INSTALL.CVS even says the following:

	Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of
	Emacs should be sent to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org rather than
	gnu.emacs.help or gnu.emacs.bug.

So I was wrong.

Good idea.  How about the attached?

I don't have write access, I think someone could just install Bobs
patch.
