bug#18047: 24.4.50; Wrong type argument: arrayp, nil for `cua-mark-rectangle-mode'

[Drew Adams]

emacs -Q

1. M-x load-library cua-rect.el

2. M-x set-variable debug-on-error t

3. Select text with the mouse, so its beginning and end are on different
   lines and columns (so they define a rectangle).

4. M-x cua-rectangle-mark-mode RET
   C-g

Repeat 3 & 4, selecting a different rectangle for 3.

You get this backtrace (or similar):

ping.  It's been 7 years.

This was force-merged with bug #17877, and a fix was
supposedly applied to some branch, but the bug is still open.

It was merged with a closed report, so I think that means that this one
is closed, too?

(And I'm not able to reproduce the error.)
