Subject: 23.0.94; nextstep: emacs crash at OS X startup
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:43:27 +0200 (CEST)

I am starting emacs in the startup phase of OS X with the following
command: 

$ open -a Emacs-ns

Since some days I always get the stack trace below. Before all worked
fine. If I afterward start emacs again for example in the debugger all
works fine. Does anybody else see such crashes? I might be related to
the latest changes in "nsfont.m".

FYI,

the problem no longer happens. So it looks the problem is fixed with the
latest changes and the bug report can be closed.
