Sorry---stupid mistake. I did mean `find-file'. |> How long is enough? It varies. But after a couple of hours the problem will almost always show up. I've set debug-on-error to t, but it hasn't reported anything useful yet. Further experimentation, though, convinces me that the problem actually has to do with the creation of new frames. Everything that produces the error involves that operation. File name completion and the various help utilities involve that because I load framepop.el, which causes all temporary popup buffers (completion, help ....) to display in dedicated temporary frames. If I learn anything useful from the debug output, I'll report back. Thanks very much to everyone who offered suggestions, Jim
