I experienced what I think is a bug in auto-capitalize.

On (gnu)emacs 21.3.1 event-to-character is called with 4 arguments while a
maximum of 2 is allowed. So the debugger is entered.

I think the offending code is in defun auto-capitalize:
....
(let ((self-insert-char
         (cond ((fboundp 'event-to-character) ; XEmacs
                    (event-to-character last-command-event
				nil nil t))
               (t last-command-event)))) ; GNU Emacs
...

The comments indicates that you think that  event-to-character is
unbound in gnu-emacs. But it exists as a function of one (optional two
arguments.)

I propose the fixes :
(let ((self-insert-char
         (cond ((featurep 'xemacs) ; XEmacs
                    (event-to-character last-command-event
				nil nil t))
               (t last-command-event)))) ; GNU Emacs
Or 

(let ((self-insert-char
         (cond ((featurep 'xemacs) ; XEmacs
                    (event-to-character last-command-event
				nil nil t))
               (t (event-to-character last-command-event))))) ; GNU Emacs

I couldn't test this since I don't have xemacs installed. But It should be ok
