How to reproduce this?

Re: persistent crash

[john]

This has been happening for the last week or 10 days.

I build from source master on GNU/Linux  after a git pull.  I have been 
doing this for some years.  It stopped running with no apparent errors. 
I moved y
to use an older emacs (GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1, x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, 
GTK+ Version 3.24.34, cairo version 1.16.0)) but I failed to run 
report-emacs-bug


For me I launch emacs under X and FVWM and type C-x C-f and it 
crashes.  I 
have failed to win back control as it produces these back-traces whatever 
type.  I have done a make bootstrap but it made no difference
I did see a message about cj=l being deprecated but I do not know whp is 
loading it.

I guess this doesn't happen if you start "emacs -Q"?  If so, look at
your customizations to find the minimal set that still produces the
Lisp errors, and post the results here.

Re: persistent crash

[john]

It does not crash immediately with -Q
But it happens if I remove all my customisations and also if i remove 
contents of .emacs

I think the problem is in local-lisp which is a collection of useful bits 
picked up over the years.  All predate lexical binding for example as I do.

I am working my way through these files but I have a limping system.  In 
particular rmail and associates is weaker and the anti spam stuff,

Thank you for being so polite to a old programmer.

You need to find out where this definition of the device-class function
comes from.  It does not come from Emacs.
