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 bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

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

I have saved a macro in one instance of emacs in the file
c:\temp\fwf.el and then started a new instance of emacs, loaded the
file and evaluated the resulting lisp. The lisp looks like this:

(fset 'findwordfile
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p")
(kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("file" 0 "%d")) arg)))

When trying to use the macro, I get this in my minibuffer:

findwordfile: Symbol's function definition is void: kmacro-exec-ring-item

If I put (require 'kmacro) at the beginning of my file containing
macros it works.

Is there a missing autoload before this line?
(defun kmacro-exec-ring-item (item arg)

Thanks for your work.

Thanks.  I've checked in a fix (autoloading kmacro-exec-ring-item, as
you suggested).
