Dear Bug Team! I run from time to time into trouble opening some files. I can not figure out why it works for a while and then stops to work (means I can edit a file and safe and the other day I cannot open it again). I put on debug-on-error and got the following output: Signaling: (args-out-of-range #<killed buffer> 25497 25504) signal(args-out-of-range (#<killed buffer> 25497 25504)) byte-code("..."
