Much by chance, I discovered that I was overflowing the "macro" table. Now, there is code in macro.c that looks like it would prevent such a thing from ever happening, but clearly it did not. This bug appears to be tickled by (obviously) using all of the macro table via defun's, autoloads, macros, &c. Trying to autoload and run a subshell in a window then causes the dump. Has anyone out there had similar problems? Has anyone received anything from UniPress in the way of bug fixes or advice?
