Re: timer error

[Gilbert Harman]

I should say, I deleted the emacs source file from my home directory, which
is supposed to be OK, because the package is supposed to be self-contained.
But maybe that messes up debugging?

I can recompile and not delete the source files and/or recompile but not use
make-package.

OK I put a breakpoint on Fsignal and this resulted.  It's looking for
emacs/mac/src/eval.c, which isn't there.  It is probably relevant that I
used emacs/mac/make-package to compile emacs?
