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 [email-masked] 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:

M-x C-p C-p ... shows strange entries, even with -Q, e.g.

quail-show-keyboard-layout
makefile-makepp-mode
plain-tex-mode
shell-dynamic-complete-command
update-autoloads-from-directories
php-mode
...

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
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
