Both of these can be any Lisp object, but the name is normally a symbol. Well, it seems that when the Lisp object is not a symbol, there is a problem. This is illustrated by evaluating the following form interactively: (progn (put-text-property (point) (1+ (point)) '(example name) t) (put-text-property (point) (1+ (point)) '(example name) nil) (text-properties-at (point))) If emacs crashed, and you have the emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /Users/jcorneli/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
