I'm using GNU make from within GNU emacs using M-x compile.
A (buggy) Makefile containing only: <quote src="Makefile">
PACKAPPS = simple
$(PACKAPPS:%=pack-index-dt-%):
echo '<dt id=$(@:pack-index-dt-%:%)>' \
'<a href="$(@:pack-index-dt-%:%)">$(@:pack-index-dt-%:%)</a>' \
>>index.html
boom: $(PACKAPPS:%=pack-index-dt-%)
</quote> will seg-fault make: <quote src="M-x compile">
cd /home/eddy/work/toys/
make
Compilation segmentation fault at Wed Nov 13 15:52:18
</quote>
The Makefile has a bug in it: I used ":" where I meant "=" in the $(@)
variable substitutions. However, make should be giving me a syntax
error, rude message, empty value for the bogus variable reference, or
some such - not a segfault !
I'm using <quote src="make --version">

Now that I've spotted my dumb typo, it's no problem to me, but I thunk
y'all might want to know about this.
Thanks for a wonderful tool which is so robust I was astonished to see
it segfault, for the first time (I believe) in over a decade using it,
Eddy.
