(VECTOR_MARK, VECTOR_UNMARK, VECTOR_MARKED_P): New macros. (GC_STRING_BYTES): Don't mask markbit (it's only used on `size'). (allocate_buffer): Move. (string_bytes): Don't mask markbit of `size_byte'. (mark_maybe_object, mark_maybe_pointer, Fgarbage_collect) (mark_object, mark_buffer, survives_gc_p, gc_sweep): Use the `size' field of buffers (rather than the `name' field) for the mark bit, as is done for all other vectorlike objects. Use the new macros to access the mark bit of vectorlike objects.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
