The symbol `@' and sexp scanning

[Michael Heerdegen <michael_heerdegen@web.de>]

Hi,

the following breaks my "el-search" package when searching in
"skeleton.el".  Am I doing something unkosher, or is this just a bug?

Insert

    (eq element '@)

in an elisp mode buffer.  Put point at the quote or the "@".  Eval

    (goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1))

and you get an error:


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (scan-error "Containing expression ends prematurely" 15 16)
  scan-sexps(13 1)
  (goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1))
  eval((goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1)) nil)
  eval-expression((goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1)) nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-expression (goto-char (scan-sexps (point) 1)) nil)
  call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-expression)


But if you add one more sexp to the list after "'@", there is no such
error.


TIA,

Michael.
