bug#23842: 24.4; Runaway background process

[Ian Perryman]

I tried down grading to emacs 24.1.1 in windows to see if the problem still exists.

The good news is that the process does not runaway to 100% CPU like with emacs 24.4, but it still does not do the completion.  I get the "wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window 5>"

The window # would change as I tried it multiple times.

This appears to the be the same issue that is now reported in emacs 25.  

The same error is given in emacs 23.1.1 

Not sure when this worked.

Any help is appreciated.

If the bug was fixed, is there a patch for emacs 24 that I can use?  When was the bug introduced?  Should I downgrade to an earlier version of emacs that does not have the bug?

Apparently I was wrong and the bug has not really been fixed; sorry about that. I don't know the answers to your second question. Downgrading should work, yes.
