> Please find a way to reproduce this bug by emacs started > with -q. I can't :-( It seems to be an interaction with running mewl (a program from the mew package which extracts header information from emails, sending them to the +inbox buffer) and ctext encoding. mewl runs as a background process; I normally start reading the emails while mewl is still running, augmenting the current buffer with header lines. So the bug seems to be that visiting a buffer in ctext encoding which is still augmented, and which contains many different scripts, causes a crash. Sometimes, after restarting Emacs, I see strange artifacts in the +inbox buffer (see attached image which shows the output of the `C-u C-x =' command) which has been produced by the crashing Emacs -- maybe this gives a hint. Does anybody else encounter such problems? Werner
