When I did I found a problem with visual-basic-mode.el. I don't know how long it has been around, but I suspect since V23 came out. I am CCing this to all the previous maintainers also in hopes of getting this to someone who can help. It will work some places in the file, but not others. When I try to start a new line after an End IF, it gives me an error message of invalid regexp:"Invalid regular expression" and refuses to even go to the next line. There may be other problems, but that was a real stopper for me.
