bug#4235: 23.1.50; org-mode compilation error on MacOS X

[Teodor Zlatanov]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

This has been seen before,
e.g. http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg14408.html

I just did, with a fresh CVS checkout on 2009-08-22:

make distclean
./configure --with-ns
make

... the usual output ...

I was able to proceed by commenting out the whole file.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Users/tzz/Desktop/Emacs gnus.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
