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-dell-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-09-02 on jtpc840 configured using `configure i386-dell-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/joseph/gnu/emacs-21.3 --exec-prefix=/home/joseph/gnu/emacs-21.3/linux24 --with-x-toolkit=athena' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: C 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: en_US.UTF-8 locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: 22 Apr 2005 create a file with the following octal dump (i.e., od -c file) in emacs 21.3.1: 0000000 h e l l o 033 4 033 S 001 h e l l o \n 0000020 These contents are "hello(esc)4(esc)S(ctrl-A)hello\n". I type them here in representational form rather than the exact form to avoid the potential problem of your emacs version crashing on reading this bug message and being unable to decipher it. When I read this very simple file with emacs version 21.3.1, the message Fatal error (6).Aborted appears and the emacs process aborts. It will not read this file. Interestingly, emacs 21.3.1 will create this file and write it out. Upon deleting the corresponding buffer and re-reading the file, it crashes. This happens every time. Version 20.4.1 of emacs does not exhibit this problem. It creates the test file, writes it out, and re-reads it with no difficulty after deleting the corresponding buffer. Some problem has been introduced in the newer version leading to this crash phenomenon.
