Nothing I've seen.

Tell you what. I'll make Paul's change so that XEmacs bitches no
matter what, but without inflooping (I assume). And I'll add Ben's
assert and you can build an XEmacs with --debug=yes. That will give
Ben and Paul the maximum amount of debug information to work with,
since you seem to be hitting this every few hours.
This should be fairly safe, since the alternative of leaving it as is
means a crash anyway. Think about it second or two and see if I'm
missing something. I really don't want to roll another XEmacs this
week (or rather, I'd like to make my second release this week be
21.5.2 not 21.4.5 ;-)
