Dear Bug Team!
I obtained re-builder.el from
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/\
emacs/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/re-builder.el
To my ~/.xemacs/init.el I added:
(require 're-builder)
Subsequently xemacs stops with "Malformed list: :background" when run.
I am very much a lisp novice, but if there is any other test I could
run please let me know.
Thanks,
Manfred Bartz <mob-xe(a)logi.cc>
