[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I recently upgraded to emacs 23.4 and found a rather obscure bug.  When invoked with -batch emacs behaves differently with the command (next-line) compared to when it is invoked without batch.  I had to switch to using (forward-line) in my code to work around this.  This behavior can be easily seen by running.

emacs -batch config.log --eval "(next-line 1)"

And you'll see and End of buffer message.  While

emacs -Q config.log --eval "(next-line 1)"

Produces no such error.
