Dear Bug Team! How-To-Repeat: C-x C-f example.texi (attached file), and M-x texinfo-format-buffer. Invalid regexp: "Invalid preceding regular expression" (backtrace attached) When regexp special character (e.g. "+") in node-name ("C++"), re-search-backward call with invalid regexp. ChangeLog & diff file attached; use search-backward instead of re-search-backward. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: FreeBSD rave.kaoru.trans-nt.com 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #8: Sun Nov 10 19:51:09 JST 2002 root＠rave.kaoru.trans-nt.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RAVE i386 ./configure '--extra-verbose' '--cflags=-O2' '--dynamic=yes' '--with-mule' '--with-site-lisp' '--with-x11' '--with-tty' '--with-xface' '--with-xpm' '--with-gtk=no' '--with-gnome=no' '--with-xim=no' '--with-sound=none' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-ldap=no' '--with-postgresql=no' '--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include' '--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib' '--with-canna=no' '--with-wnn6=yes' '--with-wnn=no' '--with-png' '--with-gif' '--with-jpeg' '--with-pop' '--site-includes=/usr/local/include:/usr/local/include/wnn6' '--site-libraries=/usr/local/lib' '--site-prefixes=/usr/local' XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" configured for `i386-unknown-freebsd4.7'.
