Subject: 24.4; Emacs fails to save enriched buffer with error message
 `wrong-type-argument symbolp "bold"'
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:15:40 -0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Download the attached files to the same directory.  In GNU Bash, with that
directory current, run
emacs -Q --script bug_script.el &> bug_output.txt

I ran the above command for emacs versions 24.4.1 and 24.4.90.  The output
is in `bug_output_24.4.1.txt' and `bug_output_24.4.90.txt' respectively.  The
bug manifests in both tested Emacs versions.
To compose the initial draft of this bug report, I ran
emacs -Q -l bug_script.el
and then called `report-emacs-bug' with the enriched buffer that fails to be
saved as the current buffer.

So, the input file (`enriched_bug_orig.txt') is in enriched mode, and consists
of one `0' followed by newlines.  I expected Emacs to write the buffer to
`enriched_bug_edited.txt', make the `0' bold, and save the buffer.  In
practice, Emacs does make the `0' bold, but then fails to save the buffer.  The
second line of bug_script.el is `(toggle-debug-on-error)' so Emacs should have
provided useful information.
