There are some situations where you cannot quit. When Emacs is

@cindex bug criteria
@cindex what constitutes an Emacs bug
- If Emacs accesses an invalid memory location (``segmentation
-fault''), or exits with an operating system error message that
-indicates a problem in the program (as opposed to something like
-``disk full''), then it is certainly a bug.

If the Emacs display does not correspond properly to the contents of
the buffer, then it is a bug. But you should check that features like
what we mean by ``guessing explanations''. The problem might be due
to the fact that there is a @samp{z} in the file name. If this is so,
then when we got your report, we would try out the problem with some

recommended, because that list is coupled to a tracking system that
makes it easier to locate patches. If your patch is not complete and
you think it needs more discussion, you might want to send it to
