and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

Create ans edit the file "bug_file.ksh".
Try C-M-n and C-M-p over the file:

$ cat bug_file.ksh
#!/bin/ksh

# Move point here and type C-n C-M-n C-M-n C-M-n

function foo_ok {
    case "${foo}" in
        (=G*) ;;

sh-mode does not understand this (=G*) syntax.  Is it valid?
Is it equivalent to =G*) or to \(=G*) ?
If it is valid and you have a pointer to some doc about it, that would
be very helpful,

Thanks.  So the "(" in (=G*) is basically silent.
Now, all we need is for someone to write the patch ;-)
