could one of the members of the secret inner xemacs-review circle tell me if there is a reason why http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches/199912/msg00036.html 1999-12-06 Jan Vroonhof <vroonhof(a)math.ethz.ch&gt; * src/syntax.h (SYNTAX_START_P): Check whether the two chars actually can start a common comment type. * src/syntax.h (SYNTAX_END_P): ditto for end. hasn't been applied to 21.2 yet? Jan, I am not blaming you, in case you forgot. I am just angry that the xemacs-review board which should take care of such things, keeps missing stuff like this and non-members are left in the dark about the status of patches... I can apply it tomorrow if you like. Vin, this one should go into 21.1.9 as well (I know, you probably have it ticked already :-) ) Gunnar
