X-Authentication-Warning: vesuri.Helsinki.FI: peuha owned process doing -bs Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 12:39:41 +0300 (EET DST) From: Esa A E Peuha Sender: peuha AT cc DOT helsinki DOT fi To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Subject: An Emacs bug Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com There seems to be a peculiar bug in Emacs 19.34 when Outline Mode and Font Lock Mode are used together. Here's one way to reproduce it: Visit file gnu/emacs/etc/OTHER.EMACSES in the djgpp directory. Move the cursor on the line `* How is this Emacs different from Twenex Emacs?' and press `C-c C-d'. If you have Font Lock Mode enabled by default, Emacs will crash immediately, otherwise type `M-x font-lock-mode' to crash it. This can be done with other headings and other files using Outline Mode. Sometimes Emacs doesn't crash but gets stuck in a loop ringing the bell; then pressing `C-z' will crash it. -- Esa Peuha student of mathematics at the University of Helsinki http://www.helsinki.fi/~peuha/
