-
-Because vi emulation works through major modes, it does not work

+@subsection Debugging Redisplay Errors
+@cindex redisplay errors
+@cindex debugging redisplay errors
+
+When an error occurs in Lisp code which redisplay has invoked, Emacs's
+usual debugging mechanisms are unusable, for technical reasons.  This
+subsection describes how to get a backtrace from such an error, which
+should be helpful in debugging it.
+
+These directions apply to Lisp forms used, for example, in
+@code{:eval} mode line constructs (@pxref{Mode Line Data}), and in all
+hooks invoked from redisplay, such as:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{fontification-functions} (@pxref{Auto Faces}).
+@item
+@code{window-scroll-functions} (@pxref{Window Hooks}).
+@end itemize
+
+Note that if you have had an error in a hook function called from
+redisplay, the error handling might have removed this function from
+the hook.  You will thus need to reinitialize that hook somehow,
+perhaps with @code{add-hook}, to be able to replay the bug.
+
+To generate a backtrace in these circumstances, set the variable
+@code{backtrace-on-redisplay-error} to non-@code{nil}.  When the error
+occurs, Emacs will dump the backtrace to the buffer
+@file{*Redisplay-trace*}, but won't automatically display it in a
+window.  This is to avoid needlessly corrupting the redisplay you are
+debugging.  You will thus need to display the buffer yourself, with a
+command such as @code{switch-to-buffer-other-frame} @key{C-x 5 b}.
+
+@defvar backtrace-on-redisplay-error
+Set this variable to non-@code{nil} to enable the generation of a
+backtrace when an error occurs in any Lisp called from redisplay.

-@subsection Gnus Development
-
-Gnus is developed in a two-phased cycle.  The first phase involves much
-discussion on the development mailing list @samp{ding@@gnus.org}, where people
-propose changes and new features, post patches and new back ends.  This
-phase is called the @dfn{alpha} phase, since the Gnusae released in this
-phase are @dfn{alpha releases}, or (perhaps more commonly in other
-circles) @dfn{snapshots}.  During this phase, Gnus is assumed to be
-unstable and should not be used by casual users.  Gnus alpha releases
-have names like ``Oort Gnus'' and ``No Gnus''.  @xref{Gnus Versions}.
-
-After futzing around for 10--100 alpha releases, Gnus is declared
-@dfn{frozen}, and only bug fixes are applied.  Gnus loses the prefix,
-and is called things like ``Gnus 5.10.1'' instead.  Normal people are
-supposed to be able to use these, and these are mostly discussed on the
-@samp{gnu.emacs.gnus} newsgroup.  This newgroup is mirrored to the
-mailing list @samp{info-gnus-english@@gnu.org} which is carried on Gmane
-as @samp{gmane.emacs.gnus.user}.  These releases are finally integrated
-in Emacs.
-
-@cindex Incoming*
-@vindex mail-source-delete-incoming
-Some variable defaults differ between alpha Gnusae and released Gnusae,
-in particular, @code{mail-source-delete-incoming}.  This is to prevent
-lossage of mail if an alpha release hiccups while handling the mail.
-@xref{Mail Source Customization}.
-
-The division of discussion between the ding mailing list and the Gnus
-newsgroup is not purely based on publicity concerns.  It's true that
-having people write about the horrible things that an alpha Gnus release
-can do (sometimes) in a public forum may scare people off, but more
-importantly, talking about new experimental features that have been
-introduced may confuse casual users.  New features are frequently
-introduced, fiddled with, and judged to be found wanting, and then
-either discarded or totally rewritten.  People reading the mailing list
-usually keep up with these rapid changes, while people on the newsgroup
-can't be assumed to do so.
-
-So if you have problems with or questions about the alpha versions,
-direct those to the ding mailing list @samp{ding@@gnus.org}.  This list
-is also available on Gmane as @samp{gmane.emacs.gnus.general}.
