Hi there,

Thanks for the quick response. I think I am using the latest version of these packages (see below).
Can you tell me which versions you are using?

;;; groovy.el --- Major mode for editing Groovy source text
;;; This file was created from javascript.el written and maintained by Karl.
;;; Minor changes were made to include some of the keywords from Groovy
;;; and use groovy/gr- instead of javascript/js-.

I can't reproduce this with either emacs-wiki or groovy-mode.  From
Googling around, I see that some packages had bugs that led to such an
error.  It's not a bug in Emacs itself, I think.  Could you try
upgrading to more recent versions of these packages and see if the
problem persists?
