Subject: 23.0.60; Segmentation fault loading auto-lang.el
Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:38:09 +0200

Hello,

First glance :
- download http://www.marquardt-home.de/auto-lang.el to ~/.elisp/
- run emacs -Q
- M-x load-file
- choose file ~/.elisp/auto-lang.el
=> Emacs segfaults (same result with emacs -Q -nw)

Trying harder :
- download http://www.marquardt-home.de/auto-lang.el to ~/.elisp/
- run emacs -Q
- C-x C-f ~/.elisp/auto-lang.el
- select region from the beginning of the file to, and including, line 1398
- eval-region
=> Emacs eval’s the region just fine
- then eval the next sexp : (defvar al-german-common-8bit-regexp ... )
=> Emacs segfaults (same result with emacs -Q -nw)

I know that auto-lang.el is not part of GNU Emacs, but I guess that
Emacs is supposed not to segfault when loading random *.el files.

I’m running Romain Françoise’s emacs-snapshot Debian package, based on
Emacs CVS (2008-03-28) :
