Dear Bug Team!
I have found a bug in desktop.el. To reproduce:
1. Create ~/.xemacs/init.el with:
(load "desktop")
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
2. Start XEmacs. Type C-x d, hit return for current dir.
3. Type M-x desktop-save. Then C-x C-c to exit.
4. Start XEmacs again and you'll see the error:
Error in init file: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
I added (setq stack-trace-on-error t) to the top of init.el and got
this the next time I reproduced the error:
# bind (standard-output stack-trace-on-signal debug-on-signal stack-trace-on-error
debug-on-error)
signal(wrong-type-argument (stringp nil))
# bind (data error-symbol)
signal-error(wrong-type-argument (stringp nil))
# bind (error-data)
normal-top-level()
# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)
Reproducable: Always
