(recentf-mode 1) aborts emacs


Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hi,

since I updated my emacs checkout (head, not a branch) this morning my
emacs shuts down immediately after starting. This was due to a SIGABRT. I
commented out things in my ~/.emacs and found out that the line
(recentf-mode 1) causes this bug.

I made a backtrace with a ~/.emacs only containing the line

  (recentf-mode 1)

and did `gdb --args /usr/bin/emacs-22-cvs -Q -l .emacs'. The backtrace
is pasted here: http://paste.lisp.org/display/43790

The checkout I compiled yesterday morning (CEST) worked just fine.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/22.1.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Emacs crashes with SIGABRT (was: (recentf-mode 1) aborts emacs)

Hi all,

I just wanted to mention that this bug seems not to be strictly related
to (recentf-mode 1), but that triggers the bug immediately. But although
I commented out this line (and all of recentf settings), emacs crashed
with SIGABRT after about 10 hours uptime. Unfortunately it didn't run in
the debugger this time...

My observations are that the bug occurs much more often when I run emacs
with its GTK interface than the terminal version.

Bye,
Tassilo

The first sentence should fit in 80 columns including "  Variable: "
prepended.  So I tried to find a useful first line.  Does anyone have
a better suggestion?

Re: Emacs crashes with SIGABRT

Hi all,

I updated again and ran emacs in gdb. Here are three backtraces. The first is
with emacs using its GTK interface, the last two happened when emacs ran in a
terminal.

Backtrace 1:

Byte-compilation of po-mode.el fails


With CVS trunk as of yesterday, Emacs fails when byte-compiling
po-mode.el from gettext 0.14.5 (same with 0.16.1).  This doesn't
happen with a snapshot from 25 Jun.  I haven't investigated further.

In po-ediff-buffers-exit-recursive:
po-mode.el:2045:30:Warning: `insert-buffer' used from Lisp code
That command is designed for interactive use only
po-mode.el:2048:19:Warning: reference to free variable `entry-buffer'

In po-send-mail:
po-mode.el:3252:40:Warning: `insert-buffer' used from Lisp code
That command is designed for interactive use only
po-mode.el:3258:4:Error: Symbol's value as variable is void: TAG

Re: Byte-compilation of po-mode.el fails

After reverting this change

2007-07-01  Paul Pogonyshev  <pogonyshev <at> gmx.net>

	* emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el: Set `binding-is-magic'
	property on a few symbols.
	(byte-compile-side-effect-free-dynamically-safe-ops): New defconst.
	(byte-optimize-lapcode): Remove bindings that are not referenced
	and certainly will not effect through dynamic scoping.

I don't experience the problem.

Info pages opened with an incorrect coding system

When I enter Info, the info doc is allways opened with chinese-iso-8bit
coding system which is the default of my installation. If there are
non-ascii characters in the doc, it will be displayed incorrectly, such
as the emacs-mime page, there's a word `Naïve' in the page, and it
should be opened with iso-8859-1.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file

Thank you for reporting this.  Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to
reproduce this on my XP machine.

Does the problem happen with "emacs -Q"?  If it doesn't, then
something in your .emacs init file causes this.

texinfmt crashes Emacs

Hi,

I noticed the recent change in texinfmt.el crashes Emacs when
formatting a Japanese Info.  The Lisp program that reproduces
the crash is:

(load-file "infohack.el")
(let (enable-local-variables) (infohack-texi-format "gnus-ja.texi"))

Where infohack.el, gnus-ja.texi and the other requirements are in:

http://cvs.m17n.org/viewcvs/root/gnus-doc-ja.tar.gz?view=tar
or
http://www.jpl.org/gnus-doc-ja/ngnus-0.6-doc-ja.tar.gz

The backtrace is below.

Since this depends on something unusual about your system,
most of us cannot easily investigate it.
Can you please investigate how this happens?

I have cc'd Handa-san, whose area this is in.

Please report back about whatever progress you can make.
