Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:26:14 +0800

Put `(global-linum-mode 1)' in .emacs and execute `emacs --daemon' will
cause emacs crash.  But when you execute `emacs --daemon' without linum
mode first then run `M-x global-linum-mode' in a client frame, it's
safe.

I've tried it on Ubuntu and it does not crash, so it is perhaps
something specific to your setup.

Could you please give a step-by-step recipe to reproduce it? Did you
try with an .emacs containing just

  (global-linum-mode 1)

?

Yes, I have tried it, here is the output:

Error: server did not start correctly

Also I used `-Q' and `--eval' to prevent from loading global settings:

$ emacs -Q --eval '(global-linum-mode 1)' --daemon
("emacs" "--eval" "(global-linum-mode 1)")
Starting Emacs daemon.
Error: server did not start correctly

The package which I use is from Romain's debian repo [1].

On Ubuntu that works as expected, with the newest Bazaar sources:

ubuntu% uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux
ubuntu% emacs -Q --eval '(global-linum-mode 1)' --daemon
("emacs" "--eval" "(global-linum-mode 1)")
Starting Emacs daemon.
ubuntu%

I'd suggest building directly from sources, or trying an official 23.2 release.

The official code does not crash.  The problem should be from Romain's repo.

OK, I'm closing this report, then. Thanks for testing.

The bug can be reproduced with the official sources as of Git
5087979 (corresponding to the 20100711-1 snapshot) but doesn't
occur with Git master; ergo it's been fixed since then and the fix
will be in the next snapshot.
