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:

emacs -Q
M-x eshell RET
touch foo RET
rm foo RET

The last command doesn't delete the file, but gives the message:
Symbol's value as variable is void: interactive

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.

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
 of 2009-01-19 on linux-b2a3
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10400090
