Unless nobody checked this using Emacs 21.4, it would then appear that
`copy-syntax-table' behaves indeed differently in XEmacs 21.5 and
Emacs 21.4. Which of the two would be correct, I have no idea. But
the call to `copy-syntax-table' seems like a mistake, anyway, and I am
surprised that we got no complaints from Emacs 21 users yet.
We're talking about the with-syntax-table macro here? The code in
xemacs cvs and emacs-21.4a are strictly identical and include the
copy. The docstring also says that you work on a copy ("... set to a
copy of TABLE."). Did emacs-cvs change that? It's a change that does
make a lot of sense.
I guess I can't checkout emacs-cvs until savannah works again,
correct?
As for the bug with with-syntax-table/backwards-sexp, I've started
looking at it. It's interestingly hairy code.
