>From my previous message:

   Yes.  Before Emacs21, there was no fundamental-mode-abbrev-table,

Actually, if I remember correctly, there was a
fundamental-mode-abbrev-table, even before Emacs21.  However, due to a
bug in the C code, it did not get set to the local abbrev table in
fundamental-mode.  In other words, it was theoretically defined, but
invisible to ordinary users.  Gerd fixed the bug in the C code.

Sincerely,

Luc.
