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 emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

This change:

    2009-03-26  Stefan Monnier  <monnier <at> iro.umontreal.ca>

	    * simple.el (shift-select-mode): Move declaration from callint.c.
	    (handle-shift-selection): Remove `deactivate' arg and check
	    shift-select-mode instead.

causes Emacs to complain during loadup:

    Loading cus-start...
    Note, built-in variable `shift-select-mode' not bound

I think this happens because simple.el, where this variable is
defined, is loaded only after cus-start.

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
d:/gnu/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Indeed.  But thanks to Andreas, this is now fixed,
