Ok. Here it is. I started xemacs like this: xemacs foo.c where foo.c does not exist. I set the debug on error option on and then entered this text in the foo.c buffer: main() { int i; I then placed the cursor AFTER the semi-colon on line 2 and attempted to put a tab in, as if to space a trailing comment, and got this text in the *Backtrace* buffer: Signaling: (wrong-type-argument integerp ?\t) int-char(?\t) read-quoted-char() quoted-insert(1) call-interactively(quoted-insert) Do you need more? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: 'quoted-insert' broken?
