Are you using a Sparc Solaris machine too, like Art? When I try either
recipe on my x86 Linux box with XEmacs 21.4.8 (both MULE and non-MULE),
I get "Wrong type argument: consp, 3" in the minibuffer, so it is
platform related somehow.
Interesting. Yes, I was running on a solaris. I get the expected
wrong type argument error in the minibuffer in the windows version.
let is implemented in eval.c. Each var, if it isn't a symbol, must be
a CONS, it is explictly checked in 'CHECK_CONS (var);'
It is a little hard to follow the macros, but the implementation seems
fine. Why would it break only on solaris?
My (emacs-version) is
"XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6) \"Common Lisp\" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) of
Mon Mar 4 2002 on capital"
