I can reproduce the problem.  There are actually two problems.  The
beep in `view-lossage' ought to be easy to fix -- it doesn't appear to 
handle the case of zero keys of history correctly.  The second problem
with the coredump after entering the debugger during initialization is
not (note that omitting the `-nw' on the command line results in an
immediate coredump before the debugger trace is displayed).  The
initialization code is not clean in the slightest.

If, in addition, you are using unclean packages like jka-compr, the code 
in initialization is extraordinarily trivial to break catastrophically.

Um, is this typical output of Sun debuggers, or a bug in your script?
