System name:		fountain
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.1H
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	Kill a buffer..

	I was in mh-rmail, hit a to reply to a letter.  Then resized
	emacs right after I hit enter at the Reply-To: prompt.  Then
	emacs did started to flash. (I have visual bell set).

What's wrong:
	Emacs decided there was an error.  Then it got into an infinite
	loop of errors and my emacs turned into a strobe light source.

What should have happened:
	It should have killed the buffer...

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	There's a core dump for you in 
	/mit/bitbucket/core.web.emacs.strobelights.
