Hi,
I have reported this bug once already, but apparentlyy nobody took
notice. So here it is again. This happens on a fairly regular basis on
my system. Last time it happened twice in a row after exactly same
actions (copy a line from one buffer, switch to another, go to the top
and 2 lines down, paste - boom), but unfortunately I could not repro
it after that. My feeling is that the bug occurs when I do things
really fast (which would explain why I couldn't repro it). The
assertion is below. I have no idea what the code that causes it does,
but would be willing to help somebody who knows - e.g. I can add some
checking code to the problematic place etc. In any case, this bug is
as good a showstopper as any for a "release" so at least some
attention by one of XEmacs' core writers is I think justified.
