Subject: 24.4; Get error on hover over variable for tooltip inspection, gud/pdb
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2015 14:28:51 -0800

Using current binary build of Emacs 24.4 for Windows.
emacs-24.4-bin-i686-pc-mingw32
The use context is:
1 - Open a python source file
2 - M-x pdb  ;; run gud/pdb for the current .py
3 - step until a variable becomes defined/initialized
4 - hover the mouse over the variable name in the source
The errors:
Error running timer `tooltip-timeout': (wrong-type-argument markerp nil)
Command: next [4 times]
Error running timer `tooltip-timeout': (void-variable v) [2 times]

NOTES
- I have the tooltip.el tooltip-mode OFF/nil
- I have gud-tooltip-mode ON (obviously)
- If I start Emacs w/ --no-init, I can still reproduce the problem
- If I replace progmodes/gud.el , gud.elc with those from 24.3, the
errors do not occur

Other problems ensue on Windows when tooltip messages actually display
as tooltip windows, and I suspect maybe it is an HWND stealing problem,
but not sure and that's a different issue. I'm OK with the info being
printed to the "echo area"
