translators to read other languages
for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the

and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)

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

While trying to byte compile ebrowse.el
and etags.el, emacs crashed, generating
the famous Microsoft error report ("GNU
Emacs for Windows NT/95/98/2000/ME/XP
has encountered a problem and needs
to close.  We are sorry for the
inconvenience.")

I've attached the file Windows would
be sending to Microsoft.
