Please consider the following bug a major bug that needs to be fixed for the new release: Bug#18749: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=18749 Sorry for the late bug report, but I only recently managed to create an example for this bug that could be replicated easily. I would be very sad if this bug (which I have encountered frequently as a heisenbug) is not fixed for the new release, as it can make programming in C under Emacs extraordinarily painful at times. -- Michael Welsh Duggan (md5i@md5i.com)
