This results from (read-from-whole-string) failing with this backtrace: ,---- | | Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Can't read whole string") | signal(error ("Can't read whole string")) | error("Can't read whole string") | read-from-whole-string("(+ 2 3)") | eval((read-from-whole-string "(+ 2 3)")) | eval-expression((read-from-whole-string "(+ 2 3)") nil) | call-interactively(eval-expression) | `---- What is bizarre, is: i now load thingatpt.el and then try again.. the bug is gone. Then i load thingatpt.elc and try again, and the bugs reappear. Moreover, 'diff -cw thingatpt.el-emacs21.2.1 thingatpt-cvs.el' returns nothing. And sexp-at-point works fine in 21.2.1. So, the bug is somehow in the compilation... (Or has this cvs-newbie screwed up the cvs installation?)
