Subject: Segfault with `M-- M-r' when `scroll-margin' is higher than zero
Date: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 15:56:15 +0200

Emacs crashes with segmentation fault when I type command `M-- M-r'
while variable `scroll-margin' has value 1 more more.

Steps to reproduce:

 1. Start Emacs from text terminal:

        $ emacs -Q

 2. Move to Emacs reference manual buffer:

        C-h r

 3. Don't move the cursor. Set the `scroll-margin' variable:

        M-x set-variable RET scroll-margin RET 4 RET

 4. Run command `move-to-window-line' with negative argument:

        M-- M-r

 5. You should see the Emacs frame disappearing and the following error
    message in terminal:

        Fatal error (11)Segmentation fault
