This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
Several problems:
A. In submitting bug reports, the instructions to press "C-c TAB"
for info don't seem to work, BTW. It's also not helpful to be
asked to do a "M-x emacs-version" when the results from that show
up in the minibuffer, which results in it not being
cuttable-and-pasteable (which might be necessary if this
bug-mailing function doesn't work).
B. Errors in a custom.el file show up as being in the init.el file
(specifically, if there's a parentheses imbalance in the
custom.el file, an "End of file" error shows up for the init.el
file... not the custom.el file).
C. XEmacs gives errors when there isn't an init.el file, which is
particularly maddening when the cause of removal of the init.el
file is the previous problem.
D. auto-autoload.el should _not_ be doing "error" if a file is
already included; it should simply return. (As it is, I'm writing
a Perl script to correct all the auto-autoload.el files, since
there doesn't seem to be a way to automatically reconstruct them
properly. I tried xemacs -batch -f batch-update-autoloads
[various permutations] after correcting autoload.el; it didn't
modify the files, and didn't recreate them when I deleted them.)
Otherwise, one gets the following sort of garbage on every
startup:
