It seems that bookmark-write-file fails to return from:

(dolist (i bookmark-alist) (pp i (current-buffer)))

pp-buffer dies someway through trying to process something like this:

  ("README" (filename . "/misc/emacs/bzr/emacs24/README") (front-context-string . "Copyright (C) 20") (rear-context-string) (position . 1))

I don't know why.
