What I need to see now is the value of the argument `function' passed to Fdocumentation above. The following commands will do this: (gdb) up 1 (gdb) pr function (gdb) xtype (The first of these commands goes up to the frame of Fdocumentation.) Then use the appropriate x* command (e.g., xsymbol for symbols etc.), according to what xtype prints, to show the value of function. Please note that, to reproduce what happens during bootstrap, you need: . Invoke the temporary binary of emacs.exe used by the bootstrap process, not the one produced by a successful build. This intermediary binary can be found during bootstrap in the bin subdirectory, but it is deleted afterwards. So you will need to copy it while the bootstrap runs, and that is the binary you should run under GDB. . Make sure there's no url-handlers.elc when you run Emacs to compile vc-dav.el or url-dav.el. . Make sure there's no DOC or DOC-X in the etc subdirectory. Also, please tell me what is the value of system-type in the MSYS build. TIA
