Re: weird match
what other variables could be relevant? It will be much easier if you try to disable once all your customizations (emacs -q).

* Ben Sturmfels o...@fghzoyrf.vq.nh [2012-10-17 20:18:11 +1100]: The general approach to pin down any bug is to just progressively strip away everything that's not related. What's left is the reproducible recipe. I am fully aware of this brute force approach; I have used it myself many times and I have instructed others in it use many more times. :-) Alas, it requires a lot of work. It is _way_ easier for Roland to do what he did, i.e., tell me an easy way to reproduce the problem, since he knows the inner workings of bbdb and can tell off the top of his head which functionality is responsible. Now, if only he kept on and told me which function produces the bbdb record(s) which match Sam... -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) X 11.0.11103000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://iris.org.il http://think-israel.org http://thereligionofpeace.com http://www.PetitionOnline.com/tap12009/ Any supplier that makes enough to pay a full time lobbyist is overcharging. -- Everyone hates slow websites.
