The variable documentation refers to recursion. So it is not just a simple loop? And it says `eval', `apply', and `funcall'. APA> Do you have any lisp package shadowing? I'm not sure exactly what that could be. I have an old reliable XEmacs under /usr/local with all it's own stuff and my present load path points only to the right stuff. I just did a search on it for `local'. I cleaned out (moved) what I had under my home directory when starting. APA> Do you have an old version of bbdb lurking somewhere?
