I can't reproduce your problem: I did > emacs -q --no-site-file most-negative-fixnum C-x C-e and it returned "-268435456 = ?\C-@". The right hand side of the return value is indeed incorrect (that's a bug), but it's still not the problem you're experiencing. Could you give a recipe to reproduce your problem? Stefan
