Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.2P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
hack around
What's wrong:
it crashed
What should have happened:
it shouldn't have crashed.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
do:
(fset 'foo "(garbage-collect)
")
M-x foo
will core dump emacs
Is it gc'ing the string?
This also happens in the beta release in the emacsdev locker
