I'm having a problem with the 20111213 snapshot.  I'm running GNU
Emacs 23.3.1 (emacs-x11) in a Cygwin-X window.  Windows XP SP3.

If I try to reverse-search inside a file (control-R) and the search
string is no longer found, after a couple more tries (more control-R),
the Emacs window will close and disappear.  There is no core dump.
Fortunately, the times when this happened, I had already saved the
buffer.

This is fairly repeatable.

I just tried to reproduce your problem using the 20111214 snapshot, and I couldn't. My system is different, however (Windows 7). In addition, I'm running a pretest of emacs 24.1 rather than 23.3. Could you see if you still have the problem with the 20111214 snapshot (and with emacs started with the `-Q' option)? If so, I'll try to duplicate your situation.


Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, here's what I did: I ran emacs under X, and it started in the *GNU Emacs* buffer. I did a reverse search for "emacs" and kept pressing control-r, so that the search wrapped around and kept wrapping. I probable pressed control-r 20 or 30 times.

By the way, does the problem occur only under X, or can you reproduce it with emacs running in the Cygwin Terminal (mintty)?
