autopair mode

autopair mode

[Andrea Crotti]

Every time I try to open a dot file with the global autopair mode my 
emacs becomes immediately
unusable and I have to kill it.

The error is:

Error in post-command-hook (autopair-global-mode-check-buffers): 
(wrong-type-argument characterp nil

And if the post-command-hook stops working there's not much to do 
unfortunately.
Any idea about how to fix this?

Apparently one possible workaround is
(add-hook 'not-working-mode-hook
           #'(lambda () (setq autopair-dont-activate t)))

There is something about that here
http://code.google.com/p/autopair/issues/detail?id=32&q=slime

And it looks like and emacs bug (I'm using emacs from bazaar and 
autopair from today svn).

I doubt its emacs's. probably autopairs.
