Karl-

In case I am not back in time, I will leave your check in a book on my 
front porch.  5548 Hampton is the address.  Thanks, man.

-John.

PS: Feel free to borrow the book if you want, too. :-)

I'm not able to reproduce it with any emacs I have available, could
you perhaps edebug-defun `fill-flowed' and cut'n'paste the content of
the buffer `fill-flowed' works in into a new buffer, and see whether
you can get `fill-flowed' to give the same backtrace when you invoke
it manually?  (phew)  If so, please mail me the buffer content.

Do you get the backtrace if you click on the rfc822 attachment in your
post to the ding list?  (To make sure it wasn't distorted along the
way.)

_/mutter/_

With a fresh XEmacs after having rebooted, neither can I.

I *hate* unreproducible bugs.  If/when it happens again, I'll pursue
it then.  But FTR, that message induced the error both as originally
delivered, and when present as a MIME attachment in my bug report.  So
it was consistent at least to that point.
