Well, the problem was repro'd in a version of emacs built yesterday at approx. 5pm EST, and neither of those two files has changed since I did my checkout. I appear to have both changes, as well. Hmm, maybe I need to do nmake recompile && nmake install in the lisp directory? It surprises me that nmake && nmake install from the nt directory is insufficient after updating my local CVS image. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
