Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Dired mode binds ~ to dired-flag-backup-files. When one attempts entering ~ via the dead-key combination Alt-n (assuming the Alt key is not used as a modifier key and Command is interpreted as Meta key), Emacs first reports an error message "Buffer is read-only: #" followed by an error message "Wrong type argument: overlayp, nil" upon the next event. In an attempt to fix this issue with some other Emacs version, I have added the lines (define-key function-key-map [dead-tilde] "~") (put 'dead-tilde 'ascii-character ?~) to .emacs, but these do not help (nor does removing them from .emacs). Note that with a German keyboard layout, Alt-n is the only way to enter a tilde character. The ASCII tilde is not bound to any key. (Actually, one could enter ASCII tilde via key combinations Ctrl-Alt-n and Command- Alt-n, respectively, but obviously this does not work for Emacs.)
