In GNU Emacs 18.51.40 of Tue Oct 18 1988 on gauss.rutgers.edu (berkeley-unix)

A user got the following error when trying to save a file.  He
supposedly didn't do anything weird up to that point.

First there were a bunch of '*invalid*'s across the screen, one right
after the other.  Then the following:

Peculiar error: stringp, #<EMACS Bug: ILLEGAL DATA TYPE (#o37777777607) Save you

(it didn't show what ran off the screen).  He was able to ^Z out but
we got this error when we tried to run eval-expression (to
dump-emacs).

I've got a core dump but I don't know how helpful that will be
(optimized and all).
