I can still reproduce this annoying problem.
Moreover, it seems not to be so hard to fix. In the defun of `debug', I
replaced this:
(when (eq (car debugger-args) 'debug)
;; Skip the frames for backtrace-debug, byte-code,
;; and implement-debug-on-entry.
(backtrace-debug 4 t)
;; Place an extra debug-on-exit for macro's.
(when (eq 'lambda (car-safe (cadr (backtrace-frame 4))))
(backtrace-debug 5 t)))
by this:
(when (eq (car debugger-args) 'debug)
;; Skip the frames for backtrace-debug, byte-code,
;; and implement-debug-on-entry.
(backtrace-debug 3 t)
;; Place an extra debug-on-exit for macro's.
(when (eq 'lambda (car-safe (cadr (backtrace-frame 3))))
(backtrace-debug 4 t)))
compiled debug.el and loaded the compiled file. This seems fix the
problem. Note that I was absolutely not knowing what I was doing. But
this experience may serve as a motivation for someone to fix this,
please - the debugger is important!
Regards,
Michael.
