Thanks for the annotations, Juanma.

This is the same as #15183, we hope Martin fixed that in revision
14005 (the backtrace was produced from revision 113986).

It's not related.  Basically, what happens here is that the window
produced by `display-buffer' for `temp-output-buffer-show' is not live.
This is a case `temp-output-buffer-show' doesn't handle, at least not on
trunk:

       window = display_buffer (buf, Qnil, Qnil);

       if (!EQ (XWINDOW (window)->frame, selected_frame))
	Fmake_frame_visible (WINDOW_FRAME (XWINDOW (window)));

But `temp-output-buffer-show' is obsolete since 24.3.  I suppose Drew
runs code byte-compiled with some pre 24.3 Emcas on trunk and either
does not produce a new window in `display-buffer' or delete it before
`temp-output-buffer-show' can deal with it.

I'd like to avoid this.  Any suggestions?

Put "stop" or "thanks" line before the stuff that isn't meant for the
tracker.

But this behavior of the tracker is new?

No, this happened because you also send the mail to the control server
at control@debbugs. My guess is that you did a wide reply on a message
were control@debbugs was in the CC without you noticing.

This is why the control@debbugs address should usually go in the BCC, so
that people who do a wide reply do not mail the control server by
accident.

Thanks.  Eli merged the bugs and that's apparently how control@debbugs
came in.  I didn't know about the consequences.

If control@debbugs goes in BCC, people will become confused about
those weird commands at the beginning of the message.

I think those commands are pretty clear; before I learned about
control@debbugs, I used to think that the bugtracker simply always
processes them. IMO the messages you get from an accidental mail to the
control server are much weirder; also, as a guideline, using BCC is
recommended in admin/notes/bugtracker.

I checked in a fix for this (revision#114078 on trunk).  Bug closed.

Thanks, martin

bug#15213: 24.3.50; emacs_backtrace.txt

[Drew Adams]

Thanks for fixing the bug(s).

15213 and 15183 were merged.  Not sure whether your "It's not related."
means that those are two different bugs or that your previous fix for
15183 is unrelated to 15213.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out, relative to your guess that this
might be a result of my using a file compiled in an earlier Emacs
release, that 15183 was from emacs -Q, and IIRC none of my code was
ever loaded in that session.  The crash came very soon after emacs -Q.

(Also, FWIW, I have no code that calls `temp-output-buffer-show'.
But of course it might be called by other code, including vanilla code
from a previous release, as you suggest.)

HTH.

They are different bugs although both end up crashing when trying to
dereference a nil window pointer.

It is unrelated.

I've been talking exclusively about bug#15213 here.

Current trunk nowhere calls `temp-output-buffer-show' so it must come
from a previous release.
