Subject: 24.0.50; Cannot kill emacs after killing text to kill-ring
Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 00:12:51 -0700

Hi Emacs developers,

After I updated Emacs today, I found a very annoying bug.

If I copy/kill something to the kill-ring, I can't exit emacs with 'C-x
C-c'. Attempting to do so results in the following backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Timed out waiting for reply from
selection owner") kill-emacs()
  save-buffers-kill-emacs(nil)
  save-buffers-kill-terminal(nil)
  call-interactively(save-buffers-kill-terminal nil nil)

I have to kill emacs from the terminal or with xkill. When trying to
kill from the terminal, I have to execute the kill command twice like
this:

$ kill %1
$ kill %1

I observe this behaviour with emacs -Q. I am not subscribed to the dev
list, so if you wish any more information please feel free to contact me
directly.

Thanks a lot.

Suvayu
