Have made a function navcons that returns a cons cell.

Whilst this works

      (insert (format " /* %s\n" (navcons "/*")))

why does this fail ?

      (insert (format " %s %s\n" comment-start (navcons comment-start)))

The error you get might explain it.

The problem happened when using comment-start, a buffer-local
variable when I changed to a new buffer in fundamental-mode.
