Seriously, rep_bytes_by_first_byte_1 is only called on internal data,
so it's not the spam's fault in some sense. There's a bug in XEmacs
somewhere to allow that data to get into a buffer or string.
I failed to recover the original (message subject) string. . .
Do you have it saved as it came off the wire?
Backtrace follows:
#3 assert_failed (file=<value optimized out>, line=<value optimized
out>,
expr=<value optimized out>) at emacs.c:4093
#4 0x0000000000749f10 in rep_bytes_by_first_byte_1 (ptr=0x9483832
"\305\a",
len=<value optimized out>) at text.h:195
#5 bytecount_to_charcount_fun (ptr=0x9483832 "\305\a",
len=<value optimized out>) at text.c:2300
Can you "print (char *) (ptr - 10)" at this point and give me about 20
bytes worth of the output? (I'm not 100% sure of the gdb syntax.)
#9 extent_endpoint_char (extent=<value optimized out>,
endp=<value optimized out>) at extents.c:1420
Do you have more of the backtrace?
