Subject: bug#10634: `forward-list' scan error
Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:20:26 +0000

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list
and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':
---
Error: "forward-list: Scan error: "Containing expression ends 
prematurely", 336, 336"

How to reproduce it:
- emacs -Q
- switch to *scratch*
- in the following code:

(abc (def) (ghi) lmn)

`forward-list' fails in different positions, for instance (| is point):

(abc (|d|e|f|) (ghi) lmn)

Software: GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
