What were you trying to do?
Control-c the ls of a large meeting and then continue.
What's wrong:
Discuss in 8.3 loses even more than discuss in 8.2 did.
Instead of just complaining "Error printing transaction: Premature end of block", it also coredumps.
What should have happened:
Ideally, discuss wouldn't coredump. Even more ideally, it would work.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
To reproduce this, use a sequence like the following:
discuss
g ca
ls
C-c (if discuss prints "Interrupted system call, you're on the right path)
p 1000
p 1000 (8.3 discuss coredumps here. 8.2 discuss merely continued to lose)
