C module problem ...

[Steeve Beaulieu]

Hello Jerry,

Basically, I am reading a file with fgets or fgetc (tried both) and I am
putting a portion
of the file in an array to use the function buffer_insert_ascstring.

The file size is approximatively 3 Mb. I bind all this to a DEFUN to call
the lisp function interactively to insert some text while in the editor.

I get a ***crash*** and it says that an assertion at
line 3840 of lisp.h is failing; which is /* return value NOT Ascbyte because
the result
in general will have been translated into a foreign language.*/. The file
contains some
c code  and explanations of it.

Is it possible that characters like double quotes, single quotes and newline
\n character is
not considered ascii text?

Many thanks,
Steeve.

P.S. I do not know how to do a bug report or if it is necessary in this case
considering that
it is probably a misunderstanding of the Xemacs source on my part. (I have
21.5.30)
