This is expected, and I tried to explain it in my message; sorry if I was unclear. The bidi Emacs is not ready to be a useful editor yet, it crashes very soon after you turn on the default-enable-bidi-display flag. I think this will happen even if you don't insert any character; just visiting a file with characters that require reordering should be enough.
Please consider debugging the current code to fix the bugs.

well, i took a quick look at bidi_resolve_neutral() (from the stack above) , and this
block doesnt really look nice. needs some more parenthesis i think.
if (!(type == STRONG_R
|| type == STRONG_L
|| type == WEAK_BN
|| type == WEAK_EN
|| type == WEAK_AN
|| type == NEUTRAL_B
|| type == NEUTRAL_S
|| type == NEUTRAL_WS
|| type == NEUTRAL_ON))
abort ();make it
if (!((type == STRONG_R)
|| (type == STRONG_L)
|| (type == WEAK_BN)
|| (type == WEAK_EN)
|| (type == WEAK_AN)
|| (type == NEUTRAL_B)
|| (type == NEUTRAL_S)
|| (type == NEUTRAL_WS)
|| (type == NEUTRAL_ON)))
abort ();i did have some unexplicable problems because of parenthesis sometimes...
The code in bidi.c where it crashes was written by me, so I should be able to help you figure out what's wrong. Unfortunately, I don't have time to debug it myself; that's why I asked for help here.
if i could compile it i could help, but i cant :(
anyway, i tried ./configure then make. "make" gives this error.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] emacs]# make Your tree does not include the compiled Lisp files. You need to do `make bootstrap' to build Emacs. Emacs now requires Texinfo version 4.2. make: *** [maybe_bootstrap] Error 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] emacs]#
and "make bootstrap" gives a big 27 MB file in /src and this error
Finding pointers to doc strings... Finding pointers to doc strings...done Dumping under names emacs and emacs-22.0.0 make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Segmentation fault make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/em/emacs/src' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] emacs]#
i wanted to help, but couldnt get the thing compiled, any hints ?
ak.
