Subject: bug#1803: 23.0.60; (with-ns) help button in Preferences window should not crash emacs
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:13:31 +0100

This crashes Emacs.

Observed Behavior
=================

 - Start Emacs
 - Choose "Preferences..." from the application menu ("Emacs").
 - (An "Emacs Preferences" Window opens)
 - Click the small purple question mark in the lower left-hand corner  
of the window.
 - (Emacs vanishes)

Expected Behavior
=================

I would expect clicking (?) to open documentation pertaining to the  
"Emacs Preferences" window. A good candidate would be the info file  
(emacs)Top:: > *Note Mac OS / GNUstep:: > Mac / GNUstep Customization.

I do not expect clicking (?) to kill emacs without warning.
