RE: C-m mapping fails occasionally

[Matt Knowles]

(lookup-key (current-local-map) "\C-m")
nil

(lookup-key (global-map) "\C-m")
*mini-buffer message:
Symbol's function definition is void: global-map

Hope this helps.
Matt

    I'm not sure how to evaluate (lookup-key ....),

Type the expression in *scratch* and then type C-j.

                                                    but when I attempted to
M-x
    describe-key C-m I got the following message, perhaps it will be
helpful.

    #<EMACS BUG: INVALID DATATYPE (#o37777777743) Save your buffers
immediately
    and please report this bug>

That is really bizarre.  It suggests that some data is not merely
wrong for where it is, but totally wrong for Emacs Lisp.

Can someone on emacs-devel work with MattK to investigate this with 
GDB?

Forgive my ignorance, and might I also say it's an honor to corresponde with
you...

I'm not sure how to evaluate (lookup-key ....), but when I attempted to M-x
describe-key C-m I got the following message, perhaps it will be helpful.

#<EMACS BUG: INVALID DATATYPE (#o37777777743) Save your buffers immediately

If you still would like the results of "evaluate (lookup-key...", please
send me instructions on how to do this directly while inside emacs.

Thanks for your response,
Matt Knowles

    Occasionally, C-m quits doing anything and I am forced to exit emacs and
run
    it again to get C-m to work again.

When this happens, would you please evaluate
(lookup-key (global-map "\C-m")
(lookup-key (current-local-map) "\C-m")
and see if the binding of C-m is still as you set it up?
