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 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2002-03-19 on buffy configured using `configure --with-msvc (12.00)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil 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: ENU locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: nil Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: When running emacs 21.2.1 (and 21.1.1) on Windows XP or Windows 98 invoked any way (via run, or clicking on runemacs.exe file, ...) if a C-x C-f bug C-n C-n C-n is executed on the file whose third line ends in a tab and whose forth line ends in a carriage return emacs goes into a loop and no commands are accepted. i.e. C-g does not stop it, C-x does not prompt for further input. The process cannot be terminated by clicking on the system close button. The only way to stop it is via C-alt-del, selecting the emace process and killing it that way. The two lines can be anywhere in a file and the problem will still occur: the file bug is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------ - aboutir vi - to succeed, to come to a head - abricotier nm - apricot tree - accablé vt - to overwhelm - accapareur nm/f - buyer-up, monopolist, black marketeers - acclimater vt/i - to acclimatize - accord nm - agreement. harmony, consent ph - d'accord! - OK!, right! ----------------------------------------------------------------- A subset of the file: line ends in tab (0x09) line ends in cr (0x0D) worked(i.e.failed) during the subsetting phase but seemed to work fine when I rechecked it. I've included it to show more precisely what the problem is. enjoy steve king Recent input: C-x C-f b u g x r e p o r t - e m SPC b u g Recent messages: Loading regexp-opt...done Loading font-lock...done Loading d:/emacs/util.el (source)...done Loading time...
