[RMS at MIT-AI (Richard M. Stallman)]

In system 29.95 NWS, with microcode 669, on LISP Machine Nine:

I did a C-M-H on a function that was missing a closeparen.
It marked the PREVIOUS function!  That can't be right.
Before I saw that this had happened, I typed a C-M-W C-W.
This got an error of some sort.
what was already in the kill ring must have been damaged,
because when I C-Y'd that I got another such error.
After I ^Z'd that,
part of my buffer that had been near where I was yanking
seemed to be duplicated!  I was afraid it was circular.
It wasn't, but it was screwed up.  The editor kept
getting errors in redisplay and I couldn't use SAVE-ALL-FILES.
