Re: [O] Bug due to org-startup-indented

[Gustav Wikström]

Emacs crashes. It prompts with a question to attach gdb to debug. Not much more, sorry to say. I'm not used to gdb though, so getting a trace for the error was to big a task a.t.m.

This should be reproducible in windows using the same emacs-version though. So I'll make sure to send a mail to emacs-devel.

Regards

Gustav

FWIW, I cannot reproduce it either (GNU Emacs 24.0.90.2
(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of 2011-10-27 and
Org-mode version 7.8.02 (release_7.8.02.2.g490d6a)) so the Windoze part
seems essential.

I'm not sure how much of a development environment the OP has set up on
his box, but if gdb is available, running emacs under gdb and getting a
stacktrace to report to the emacs devel list seems like the best route
forward.

BTW, is there no error message at all? emacs just dies?
