23.0.60; x-create-frame gives wrong-type-argument error |

Can't really give a precise recipe for this. I have a special-display
function that when called can lead to this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
>(nil 0)
x-create-frame(((visibility) (width . 100) (width . 80) (height . 14)
(menu-bar-lines . 1) (top . 0) (left . 0) (unsplittable . t) (user-position . t)
(vertical-scroll-bars . right) (height . 14) (width . 80) (unsplittable . t)))
x-create-frame-with-faces(((background-color . "LavenderBlush2") (mouse-color
. "VioletRed") (cursor-color . "VioletRed") (width . 100) (font . "-*-Lucida

(mouse-color . "Yellow") (cursor-color . "Yellow") (menu-bar-lines . 1)
(foreground-color . "Black") (background-color . "LightSteelBlue") (top . 0)
(left . 0) (unsplittable . t) (user-position . t) (vertical-scroll-bars . right)
(height . 14) (width . 80) (unsplittable . t)))
make-frame(((background-color . "LavenderBlush2") (mouse-color . "VioletRed")
(cursor-color . "VioletRed") (width . 100) (font . "-*-Lucida

(foreground-color . "Black") (background-color . "LightSteelBlue") (top . 0)

special-display-popup-frame(#<buffer *Completions*> ((background-color .

I can't trace `x-create-frame', so I don't know what `>' test it is
doing here, but perhaps someone else can figure it out. Presumably,
what is happening is that `x-create-frame-with-faces' adds a null
`visibility' frame parameter, and then something in `x-create-frame'
tries to compare that nil value with 0 using `>'.
HTH.

Done, both on the Emacs 23 branch and on the trunk (slightly different
patches were needed in each case).
