Subject: 24.3.50; rng-validate-while-idle -> (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:35:23 +0100

Killing an nXML buffer sometimes leads to a repeated occurrence of the error:

Error in timer: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")

More detail:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
  rng-validate-while-idle(#<killed buffer>)
  apply(rng-validate-while-idle #<killed buffer>)
  byte-code("r\301\302H\303H\"\210)\301\207" [timer apply 5 6] 4)
  timer-event-handler([t 0 1 500000 t rng-validate-while-idle (#<killed buffer>) idle 0])

I don't have a detailed procedure for reproducing this, yet.

At least, rng-validate-while-idle should kill the timer if the buffer
has been killed.
