If you expect it should return nil even in the case of a bad argument, I don't think that was the intention. In fact I'd be complaining if it did work that way. A wrapper is definitely necessary to get that level of safety. Having said that, it sounds like a bug. Although your wrapper might appear to work I suspect it just masks the true problem. That being either your regexp is bad and the error isn't being detected/reported in a useful way, or the regexp is OK but your combination of regexp tokens and buffer data trigger a bug that ultimately crashes the search. Either way I don't think a wrapper is the answer. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
