Hi all, I just experienced an Emacs crash, and I can reproduce consistently. I'm unsure whether it's specific to the patched build and I don't have the time to check, so I post here to verify. It might already be fixed, as I use the version: GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002) of 2009-11-04 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)
Steps: - set find-file-existing-other-name to t - have "U:\Privé\ab" as the current working directory - press Ctrl-x Ctrl-f c d On typing the 'd' (or whatever key you type there) Emacs crashes. I tried (Cygwin) gdb as suggested by the Emacs crash handler and created the stack trace below. Hope this helps...? Groente, Michel.
