Well, its not exactly an error message - but the other day we got a
machine from a manufacturer who shall remain nameless - to which I 
wanted to try to port ELK to test out its compiler and also to run
some speed tests (interpreters make interesting benchmarks).  I
ran into some problems (600,000 bytes of error messages in the whole 
thing - but mostly in the X window stuff).  I finally managed to
get the part without X windows to compile (modulo normal problems
with include files and so on, ah, portability).  Ran it.  It
promptly dumped core.  dbx revealed the following (look at the
args to General_Make_Vector) :

$ dbx scheme

Tell me thats a coincidence!
