Please tell more: what did you try to type, and what happened?

Thanks.

The problem is gone with another pull and compilation, you can close
it.

Perhaps this was not the result of a change in Emacs but of an error
on my side---I remember I had this problem before.  I don't know how
to reproduce it, though.

Under what circumstances can this error occur?  I could then try to
avoid it in the future.

Done.

I cannot answer that question without knowing what you typed and what
happened when you did.  Can you try to recollect that and describe it
as best as you can remember?

Well, I don't have a lot of information to share.

From memory, what generally happens is this:

1. some error occurs in Emacs
2. I then try to type the ^ key in order to input the ê character
3. Emacs complains with <dead-circumflex undefined>

I will try to watch carefully what kind of error in (1) leaves me
in this situation.

I should add that this happens very rarely, something like twice
a year or so.
