What were you trying to do?
Invoke some emacs keyboard macros:
emacs -q &
M-x load-file km.lisp
C-u 61 M-x generate-data
M-<
C-u 60 M-x label-above
The file km.lisp was generated using name-last-kbd-macro and
insert-kbd-macro, and consists of:
(fset 'generate-data
"123456^N^N")
(fset 'label-above
"^N123456-above-me^S123456^A")
What's wrong:
A few seconds after I entered 'C-u 60 M-x label-above', the
emacs process terminated, with the message:
[1] Trace/BPT trap emacs -q
Repeating the same steps produced the same result.
What should have happened:
Ideally, the emacs process should have continued to run, as it
does if the '61' and '60' above are replaced by '51' and '50'.
Less ideally, the emacs process should have continued to run
if I instead ran the unsupported version in the emacsdev locker
(18.57.8 of Fri Feb 22 1991 on pit-manager). Instead, this also
terminated with a 'Trace/BPT trap'.
