> TO REPRODUCE BUG:
> 1) Create file "bug.el" with the following single expression:
> (set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 'vertical-border
> (make-glyph-code ?\s 'vertical-border))
> 2) Byte compile this "bug.el" file (i.e. create the file "bug.elc").
> 3) Start Emacs with emacs -Q
> 4) M-x load-file bug.elc
> 5) This will produce the error "Wrong type argument: char-table-p, nil".
That's expected: the default value of standard-display-table is nil.
You should use something like this instead:
(or standard-display-table
(setq standard-display-table (make-display-table)))
> The uncompiled "bug.el" version works fine though.
Probably because you load it into a session that already has
standard-display-table initialized to a non-nil value.
