New TeX-mode bug!

New TeX-mode bug!

[Idris S Hamid]

With the latest beta, the following fails in TeX-mode (and therefore in Gamma 
as well). I've included TeX's error message as well.

Best wishes

ah, this has to do with a nasty expansion problem (no problem in etex)

go into core-itm.tex, and add the \forceunexpanded and \resetunexpanded

\forceunexpanded % needed for m conversion (\os)
    \setevalue{\@@currentitemsymbol\itemlevel}%
      {\getvalue{\@@localitemsymbol\itemlevel}}% still problems with \uchar ?
     %{\noexpand\getvalue{\@@localitemsymbol\itemlevel}}% no, spoils subrefs
\resetunexpanded

(and recompile the format)

Ok, I added the lines, saved, recompiled tex mode and gamma, even mktexlsr, 
but I still get the exact same message. I added the lines at the end of 
core-itm.tex, before \endinput; was that right?

Best

no, just search for the "setevalue" line that is part of the patch
