I need to make sure of which buffer is really being operated on. A wrong value from e (current-buffer) would cause terrible confusion. I use the ordinary debugger, not edebug mode, but the issue is the same for both. So I think this bug is important, and the right thing to do is fix it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
