Subject: 23.0.90; Cocoa Emacs crashes when loading zenburn color-theme
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:54:33 -0500

I'm using the emacs-starter-kit and trying to load the included
zenburn color-theme. When I execute M-x zenburn after loading emacs
normally, it crashes, saying Fatal error. If I start emacs with the
command "emacs -q -l ~/.emacs.d/init.el", then these same actions
successfully apply the color-theme. However, if I do "emacs -Q -l
~/.emacs.d/init.el", the crash occurs again.

I can't reproduce this, but I don't know whether it's because I'm on
GNU/Linux rather than MacOS, or because the precise steps you took are
missing from your bug report (e.g. how exactly did you set up the
emacs-starter-kit)?

Please try to narrow down the problem, and provide a simple,
self-contained recipe for reproducing this bug.  (Phil, could you help?)

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with cocoa emacs. Phil uses
this theme on a daily basis, and I tried using revisions of
emacs-starter-kit from before my own additions, and the problem was
the same.

That's not very precise.

Hi,

If you have a chance and would be able to run an instance of -g only  
compiled Emacs.app under gdb and generate the crash, that output  
would be helpful.  (Running gdb from emacs/src would be best.)

thanks,
Adrian

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

Bugs 2377 and 2542 are probably the same.

Emacs (under NS) crashes whenever an unknown color name is used.
ns_lookup_indexed_color is called with index 0, which isn't in the  
array, leading to the crash.
It's also called a few times with an unusually large index; not sure  
if that's also a bug.
