----------
Summary of problem encountered with completion.el.
It is posible to cause an emacs segment violation by
- starting an emacs (emacs -q &) in /afs/sipb.mit.edu/user/mcharity/src/C++
- typing: (load "/tmp/completion")^X^E
- typing: ^X^F.
Segv occurs on pressing the '.'.
/tmp contains completion.elc.
completion.el is version 6.
The directory name is somehow significant.
Bug occurs even when directory completely empty.
Bug occurs even when C++ directory is rmdir'ed and re mkdir'ed.
Does not occur when emacs started in other directories.
I do not anticipate further exploring this myself.
