Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
The current forms relies on the use of concat with numeric
arguments. Could somebody with access to the CVS repository create a
patch and apply it?
Here is one of the relevant points:
(error (concat "Forms format error: "
"field number %d out of range 1..%d")
el forms-number-of-fields))
forms.el is cluttered with such calls, also in forms--show-record.
In your example, `concat' takes two strings, and `error' is the one
that gets the integer arg -- which is perfectly ok.
The above code is equivalent to
(error "Forms format error: field number %d out of range 1..%d"
el forms-number-of-fields)
