[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Greetings,

My LaTeX file starts with a long (59 line) comment
containing header information.

I noticed that the file was not being parsed and no style
file written to ./auto or read from there.

If I remove the header and do C-c C-n, parsing occurs as I
would expect.

If I put the \documentstyle line in line 1 of the file and
then the header, parsing also fails.

I suspect this must be a regression caused by a recent
change as I have not noticed this behaviour before.

Many thanks,

---Fran Burstall
