I didn't know ffap was involved. I'm content to customize file-name-at-point-functions, as I can't imagine when I would wan't ffap. It really doesn't work well, I also got "Stack overflow in regexp matcher" a few times. Hard to reproduce though.
I would expect if ffap can't produce a file that exists, or an error occurs, it should produce the current buffer filename.
