bug#35969: 26.2, Excorporate

[tenspd137 .]

*if I try to C-x C-e  or M-: "connection", it goes into the debugger.*

I mean it gives me a backtrace telling me the variable is empty, even
though later in lisp expressions, it is evaluated.  I am assuming it
is roughly equivalent to a C++ pointer, but I don't know how to query
it, etc.

Thanks!
