Simple function works in ver. 21.3 but not in 22.0

Simple function works in ver. 21.3 but not in 22.0

[B. T. Raven]

Does any of you know why this should not work in version 22.0 (w32)?:

(defun unfill-paragraph () ;; bound to C-x M-q
   "Do the opposite of fill-paragraph; stuff all lines in the current 
paragraph into a single long line."
   (interactive)
   (let ((fill-column 90002000))
     (fill-paragraph nil)))

C-h k C-x M-q does show that the function is bound to that key sequence, with:

(global-set-key "\C-x\M-q" 'unfill-paragraph)

The only other settings that I can think might affect this (under 
custom-set-variables) are:

  '(sentence-end "[.?!][]\"')}]*\\($\\| $\\|	\\| \\)[ 	
]*")
  '(sentence-end-double-space nil)

It looks like fill-paragraph is ignoring the fill-column value in the let 
form. Any ideas?

Ed.

Works for me in 22.0.50.

Works for me with 22.0.96 on GNU/Linux, too.

Works for me too on w32 with

   GNU Emacs 22.0.96.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-03-21 (patched)

Did you try starting with

   emacs -Q

Thanks, Barry, Tassilo, and Lennart. No, emacs -Q didn't work either. I 
copied just the keybinding and function forms into *scratch* and evaluated 
them. C-h k etc. report them as loaded but they don't work. I noticed that 
the text ";; This buffer is for notes..." could be toggled to 
filled-unfilled with M-q and C-x M-q but not other text. Maybe it has to do 
with fontification or someething. Turnig of global fontification didn't help 
either though.

Build is:
This is GNU Emacs 22.0.93.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.2222)of 2007-01-26 on NEUTRINO

Sorry. False alarm. The fact that it worked on a comment in lisp interactive 
mode was a clue. I use text mode more than 95% of the time so I didn't stop 
to think how useless my function would be when I tested on randomly typed 
strings in the context of *scratch*. As soon as I did M-x text-mode in 
*scratch* the function worked of course, even on the lisp code.
