Looking further in the mailing list would surely have shown you that this bug was reported (bug #1516) and fixed already (in the source tree) and that there's a patch attached to the bug report which you can apply to your 3.80 sources to fix it: see the bug report in Savannah: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1516&group_id=71 jb> Especially would it seem questionable to me whether the same logic jb> as in the include directive handling can be applied here, since it jb> may be useful to be able to interact with the conditionals state jb> previously in effect. I'm not sure which "include directive handling" you mean, but as with include files all conditionals started within an eval must be closed within the same eval. That's the only restriction. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
