I have a pretty good idea what is causing it, but am too afraid to touch the marzilla stuff. :-) first of all a smaller recipe for the crash: - create a file test.el containing: (defun foo (bar) bar) - byte-compile and load this file - in *scratch* eval: (foo 7) OK, '7' is printed - make bar buffer-local: (make-local-variable 'bar) - eval (foo 7) again CRASH The problem is that funcall_compiled_function() correctly creates the specbinding for the local variable bar: $27 = {symbol = 139220936, old_value = 138893388, func = 0x80bdbec <specbind_unwind_local>} but at eval.c:532 UNBIND_TO_GCPRO_VARIABLES_ONLY is used which assumes that all bindings are 'normal' variables (i.e. func==0). I'm pretty sure that all this can be cured by using UNBIND_TO_GCPRO instead but maybe there is a smarter way. Martin?
