Hi there,
I have found a problem in the mouse handling code in xt-mouse.el.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a fix as I don't completely understand
the code, but I'd like to point out this nuisance anyway.
The problem manifests itself in producing "Arithmetic range error:
truncate ..." when I click inside xterm. I trace it down to the
following code in xterm-mouse-event:
(timestamp (truncate
(* 1000
(- (float-time)
(or xt-mouse-epoch
(setq xt-mouse-epoch (float-time)))))))
This code - after a certain time - produces arithmetic range errors on
the truncate call. When I simply "watch" the value of the argument, I
see it grow.
On my 32-Bit GNU/Linux platform the first truncate expression on an
integer that I get an arithmetic error is
(truncate 268435456.0)
Interpreting this is milliseconds, it follows that after 74 hours, 33
minutes and 55 seconds I will start getting the error :(
Can someone help me with this? I really would like to circumvent
quitting my emacs every few days :)
Thanks
Detlev
