================================================================ 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/ ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Darwin grendal.frinabulax.org 7.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.6.0: Sun Oct 10 12:05:27 PDT 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.9.4.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc ./configure '--with-mule' '--with-widgets=athena' '--with-athena=3d' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--site-libraries=/opt/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib' '--site-runtime-libraries=/opt/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib' '--package-path=/Users/royar/usr/local/xemacs/xemacs-packages' '--cflags-warning=-w' '--prefix=/Users/royar/usr/local' '--with-prefix' '--with-png' '--with-jpeg' '--with-tiff' '--cflags= -Os' '--pdump' '--with-xmu' '--with-xim=no' '--with-sound=esd' '--with-xfs=no' '--use-number-lib=gmp' '--use-union-type' '--dynamic=yes' '--with-dragndrop' '--with-gnome' XEmacs 21.5-b18 "chestnut" (+CVS-20041201) configured for `powerpc-apple-darwin7.6.0'.
