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:



I'm building emacs from CVS on Mac OS X (actually the git mirror of  
same at
git.svn.gnu.org).

Given an org-mode buffer:

* first level
** second level

When I pass over one of the outline level indicators (i.e. **) with
the mouse emacs dies instantly.

- This only occurs in the with-ns build.
- Emacs on X11 does not exhibit this problem (same sources, same  
machine).
  (It also doesn't occur with the (considerably older) CarbonEmacs.)
- It does not occur in outline-mode
- It occurs only in org-mode, as far as I can tell.
  (Nevertheless, I suspect a problem with the new nextstep/cocoa
  windowing code. It doesn't seem to me that anything that org-mode
  does should be able to outright kill emacs.)

Are you already aware of this problem?  If not, what can I do to help
you narrow it down?



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/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Please run Emacs under GDB (from the emacs/src directory so it loads the
.gdbinit file) and show us a backtrace.  You may also provide the output
of `xbacktrace'.  If you can compile with "-O0 -g" that will give more
reliable debugging info, of course.  Also set emacs/etc/DEBUG for some
useful info about how to debug such problems.

Wonderful.
