Hello,

I find keyboard macro sometimes doesn't work when visual-line-mode is
enabled. Below is an example.

1. emacs -Q
2. C-h t
3. M-x visual-line-mode
4. record a macro:
   C-x ( C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-k C-k C-x )
5. Keep Pressing C-x e, then the following error occurs:

After 0 kbd macro iterations: funcall-interactively: Wrong type
argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

Thanks.

This has nothing to do with keyboard macros, it was a bug in
kill-visual-line, which should be fixed now on the master branch.
