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:

term/ns-win.el line 1068 sets the face background for 'region to
"ns_selection_color", which is defaulted to lightgoldenrod2 on Macs
and looks rather harsh on dark backgrounds. My problem is that
ns-win.el is eval'd after your .emacs/init.el and will override
any color choices you made for 'region. I'm working around it by
setting the 'region background in a window-setup-hook (which is
after frame-notice-user-settings in startup.el).

It seems like this is a mistake and the 'region face background
should not be set in ns-win.el. It's unintuitive that one specific  
face setting
isn't honoured in your init.el.

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
/Users/erikc/Documents/emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/ 
DEBUG for instructions.
