I recently upgraded to emacs 23.4 and found a rather obscure bug. When invoked with –batch emacs behaves differently with the command (next-line) compared to when it is invoked without batch. I had to switch to using (forward-line) in my code to work around this. This behavior can be easily seen by running.
emacs –batch config.log --eval "(next-line 1)"
And you’ll see and End of buffer message. While
emacs -Q config.log --eval "(next-line 1)"
Produces no such error.
