XEmacs version is 21.1, patch 8.
Thanks for the report. Two remarks:
* I don't have the source around, so I can only guess what's going on.
The older version of parse-time.el simply used vectors.
* An uncompiled backtrace would contain more context information --
you can get it with `(load "parse-time.el")'.
* If the code was compiled under GNU Emacs, that may be the problem.
Try recompiling it with XEmacs, and loading it.
I believe the problem is that the code, or some utility function it
calls, tries to use make-char-table to create a syntax table. Under
XEmacs, you call `make-syntax-table' for that purpose. Can you try
that modification and see if things work out?
