I am running a reasonably recent CVS Emacs.  A couple of weeks ago,
after an update, two things broke:

-- send-mail-function's value went to nil; doing a "make bootfast"
   cured that.  Did not look into it again.

-- history search broke, in all context where I use it.  I just tried
   it again: invoked several nonsense commands via M-!, then tried M-!
   M-r something RET and got back a beep with "No previous history
   search regexp". *Messages* Buffers looks like this:

gibberrish: Command not found.
garbage: Command not found.
nonsense: Command not found.
if: No previous history search regexp

   Enabling debug-on-error has no effect.  Neither does "make
   bootstrap", which is a fairly slow exercise on my machine. 

Ideas?  [For the record, Solaris 7 on Ultra60, gcc 3.1.]

Any help would be appreciated.

This is due to the change:

2005-12-31  Richard M. Stallman  <rms@gnu.org>

	* minibuf.c (read_minibuf): Clear out all other minibuffer windows.

Since I don't know the intention of this change, I can't provide a fix.

    This is due to the change:

	    * minibuf.c (read_minibuf): Clear out all other minibuffer windows.

    Since I don't know the intention of this change, I can't provide a fix.

The purpose was to prevent outer-level minibuffers from visibly appearing
in other frames.  I will install a fix.

Thanks.  Seems to work.
