Nick,

Thanks again, and I understand your position.  Over the holiday, I'll
try to figure out where the ^M's are coming from, and see if I can
develop a patch.  I've never done serious debugging of Emacs lisp, but
I'm sure it will be a good experience for me.  I'll also have a look
at gdb 7.0

Steve
