This is GNU Emacs 20.7.2 on a Debian GNU-linux system (Debian 2.2r3,
the most recent stable version of the distribution).
I've had the following annoying behaviour for what seems like a long
time.
In two kinds of situations: [1] situations involving filename
completion, or [2] in trying to switch to an existing buffer in a new
frame, or visit a file in a new frame, the call frequently but not
always fails and I get that most revealing of error-messages:
wrong-type argument: stringp or numberp
What's weirdest is that on occasion, the problem will fix itself. It
did just now, for instance, so I had to try to type the error-message
from memory rather than reading it in from the minibuffer.
Sometimes (but not always), I can fix it by killing emacs and
restarting. It's the random character of the thing that is most
bothersome.
Is this familiar to people? Is there anyone who can suggest a cure or
a method of trouble-shooting?
Thanks,
Jim McCloskey
