From: "U-HLS\\eliason" To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org Subject: 24.1; segmentation fault during run-lisp --text follows this line-- This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': Segmentation Fault after I use help in *inferior-lisp* buffer. The sequence here will cause the crash from an 'emacs -Q' startup at the Cygwin command prompt: (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp")^J M-x run-lisp ^H^G (exit) The segmentation violation happens while typing '(exit)'. It happens at a keystroke, before completing the command and typing return. I downloaded the Emacs sources directly from: http://gnu.mirrors.pair.com/gnu/emacs/ I compiled the faulty emacs-24.1 under Cygwin like this: ./configure --without-x make The Gygwin environment was fully updated on 9-August-2012. I then downloaded and compiled emacs-23.2b, compiled using exactly the same commands, and the problem does *not* occur. I have currently installed emacs-23.2b for that reason. 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'. For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file /home/eliason/emacs-24.1/etc/DEBUG.
