================================================================ Dear Bug Team! If I invoke XEmacs 21.4.12 with the command xemacs -q -l .emacs.lite -nw with the file ".emacs.lite" consisting of ----------------------------------------------------------------- (add-hook 'text-mode-hook (function (lambda () (goto-char (point-min)) (search-forward "\n\^_" nil t) (narrow-to-region (point) (point-max))))) ----------------------------------------------------------------- then do M-x toggle-debug-on-error, and then invoke C-h i, I get the following *Backtrace* ----------------------------------------------------------------- Signaling: (search-failed "") search-forward("") byte-code("..."

He suggested a bug report. That was with XEmacs 21.4.8. Now that I encounter the same thing with XEmacs 21.4.12 I am motivated to make the bug report. The text-mode-hook addition I picked up somewhere as a device to hide "-*-text-*-" at the start of some of my files that aren't put into text-mode by having ".txt" or the like in their file names (i.e. by use of "auto-mode-alist"). ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: SunOS gax 5.8 Generic_108528-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2 ./configure '--cflags=-mr -Qn -xO2 -xtarget=generic -xarch=v8' '--compiler=cc' '--dynamic=yes' '--with-pop' '--with-mule' '--with-database=berkdb' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--memory-usage-stats=no' '--without-modules' '--with-sound=none' '--infodir=/opt/TWWfsw/xemacs214/info' '--infopath=/opt/info:/opt/TWWfsw/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/info:/opt/TWWfsw/xemacs214p/packages/info:/opt/TWWfsw/xemacs214p/xemacs-packages/info' '--site-prefixes=/opt/TWWfsw/ncurses5 /opt/TWWfsw/xpm /opt/TWWfsw/jpeg /opt/TWWfsw/libtiff35 /opt/TWWfsw/libpng12 /opt/TWWfsw/zlib11 /opt/TWWfsw/libdb31' '--site-runtime-libraries=/opt/TWWfsw/ncurses5/lib /opt/TWWfsw/xpm/lib /opt/TWWfsw/jpeg/lib /opt/TWWfsw/libtiff35/lib /opt/TWWfsw/libpng12/lib /opt/TWWfsw/zlib11/lib /opt/TWWfsw/libdb31/lib /usr/dt/lib /usr/openwin/lib' '--package-path=~/.xemacs::/opt/TWWfsw/xemacs214/lib/xemacs-21.4.12/mule-packages:/opt/TWWfsw/xemacs214/lib/xemacs XEmacs 21.4.12 "Portable Code" configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.8'.
