[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm reporting a bug in Gnu emacs lisp, but I'm also reporting a bug in theprocess of reporting emacs lisp bugs.  This first bug consists in the factthat, in bug reports sent using M-x report-emacs-bug, my email address (lewcreary <at> cs.com, in the "from:" field of the email), would have been mangled into a somewhat similar, but different, address in the process of submitting the report.  As a result, any acknowledgment email intended for me (but sent to the mangled address) would not reach me, but wouldinstead generate a "no such person" mailing error.
The main bug I'm reporting consists in the fact that recently, when I triedto test the lisp function displayed just below, I triggered the lisp errormessage "`let' bindings can have only one value-form", when it is clear from inspection of the let* form in question that no such bug exists.  The let* form in question does have just one value-form, the lisp variable   eight-powr-sum..
(defun octal-to-dec (n)  (let* ((oct-str {number-to-string n)         (octal-digits (string-to-reverse-numlist oct-str))         (oct-digit nil)         (eight-powr-term-val 0)         (eight-powr-sum 0)         (indx 0)         (while-nil-val (while (<= indx (length octal-digits))            (setq oct-digit (nth indx octal-digits)                 eight-powr-term-val (* oct-digit (expt 8 indx))                 eight-powr-sum (+ eight-powr-sum eight-powr-term-val)                 indx (1+ index) ))) ) ; end of let-variables     eight-powr-sum )))
