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 address@hidden  
mailing list.

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

I was experimenting with the latest emacs sources (updated 4pm pdt,  
10/15) and generated an OS X application with make-package --self- 
contained.  The result built with no apparent problems, and the  
installer in the generated disk image worked fine and installed an  
emacs application in /Applications.  The only apparent problem is  
that syntax coloring isn't there.  It does appear in other OS X emacs  
applications that i've found in various places on the web.

I've got a very small .emacs file on this system:

---
; SML/NJ stuff
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/sml-mode-3.9.5" load-path))
(load "sml-mode-startup")

; Global coloring
(global-font-lock-mode)
---

Any ideas why no coloring with this newly built emacs for even basic  
things like C mode, even though it works in emacs applications build  
elsewhere?

--------------------------

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
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
