Subject: 23.0.60; file content causes CVS emacs to crash

From: Ted Zlatanov <[email-masked]>

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 [email-masked] mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

The file content in a file causes Emacs to crash as soon as it's opened.
Tested with "emacs -q file".  This is a vimrc file, but it causes the
crash under any name, so it's content-related and not mode-related.  I
can't attach the file directly because doing so crashes Emacs; I am
attaching it compressed.

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.
