Subject: bug#9087: Crash reading from minibuffer with icomplete-mode
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:54:00 +0200

The backtraces below are from today's trunk, but I can also reproduce
the bug with the emacs-23 branch (Windows build in both cases).

This is sort of a recipe for the bug:

 - Start emacs with "emacs -Q -f icomplete-mode".
 - Run M-x set-face-font and set a font for a face; in my examples, I
try to set font-lock-comment-face.
 - Choose a font, for example I set
-outline-Consolas-bold-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1
 - Then run again "M-x set-face-font <RET> M-p <RET> M-p", to select
the same face and the same font, and then modify the completion for
the face. In my tests, I go to the family name "Consolas", remove it
with M-d and start fiddling with completions of "Droid Sans Mono"
(which I have installed), typing for example just "Droid S" <TAB>,
then <M-backspace>, etc. Sooner or later it crashes every time.

Crashes are not always identical, but all of them happen in a call to
`byte-code' from inside `icomplete-exhibit'. After the signature there
are two examples.

I can repeat the crash easily, so if no one can reproduce it, pointers
to debugging this are welcome.
