Re: SIGABRT while stress-testing with gnuclient/gnudoit

[Richard Stallman]

    The proposed solution is to just replace the abort call in
    SELECTED_FRAME with a call to kill_emacs, just like the code at line
    1444 cited above does.

That would be a drastic solution.  Right now, the program can create
a new frame before it returns.

      prin1 eventually calls window_loop to figure out where to print
    it, and fails to find a using the SELECTED_FRAME macro.  This macro
    aborts.

You didn't tell me to use C-x C-e; I used C-j, which handles the
output differently.  Now I understand the problem.

Does this patch fix it?  Thanks.
