I copied the current-line function out of a manual. It seems to give good
results for this application. I have now replaced with your function and get
the same error. It doesn't seem to be related to the current-line function.
I am very frustrated that there doesn't seem to be a variable to return the
current line number like there is for current-column. The value is shown on
my mode line. Why do I have to copy a function to get this value???

Thanks for the help Friedrich. Any more suggestions?
