just see I used a private `region-active-p'

(unless (featurep 'xemacs)
  (defun region-active-p ()
    "and mark-active transient-mark-mode
 (not (eq (region-beginning) (region-end)"

         (not (eq (condition-case nil (region-beginning)(error nil)) (condition-case nil (region-end) (error nil)))))))
