Dear Bug Team!
I am not sure this is a bug or whether I should ask for a feature request. I
am trying to set up a file so that it runs a func when loaded which hides
local variables, but I get the backtrace at the end of this message. Here
are the local variables (^L is actually \014 in the file):
^L
local variables:
mode: text
eval: (hide-buffer-variables)
end:
Here is the defun:
(defun hide-buffer-variables ()
"Narrow to first page and hide variables. Assumes only two pages."
(let ((pos (point)))
(end-of-buffer)
(narrow-to-page -1)
(goto-char pos)
)
)
If I remove (goto-char pos), I do not get the error. I verified that pos is
before the last page.
I note there are lisp shadows from mule. Those appeared with the latest version
update (21.5.17->21.5.18). The files in
/Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs/mule-packages/lisp/mule-base
appear to be newer (newer (c)) than those in
/Users/royar/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b18/lisp/mule/
