Hi Sam,

(I should have mentioned this in the first place) I'm using

GNU Emacs 20.4.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.7, X toolkit) of Sat Jul 31 1999
on shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu

running on 

uname -a
SunOS dynasty.cs.columbia.edu 5.7 Generic_106541-10 sun4u sparc

(With display set to a PC running eXceed, which shouldn't matter.) 

--

C-h f save-current-buffer RET 
(under bbdb-2.00.06)
save-current-buffer is a built-in function.

Save the current buffer; execute BODY; restore the current buffer.
Executes BODY just like `progn'.

(save-current-buffer (set-buffer "*Messages*") (point))
returned: 2309 

--
Under bbdb-2.2

before trying to do anything with BBDB save-current-buffer is define,
looks cool. 

after (byte) compiling and loading bbdb.el, save-current-buffer is
still defined, looks the same as above.  

(save-current-buffer (set-buffer "*Messages*") (point))
returned: 1797

after M-x rmail, updating to version 5 
(save-current-buffer (set-buffer "*Messages*") (point))
returned: 1801 

but if I try some bbdb thing, I have:

Signaling: (invalid-function #<subr save-current-buffer>)
  save-current-buffer(#<buffer .bbdb> (("birthday") ("mail-alias") ("web")))
  bbdb("huh" nil)
  call-interactively(bbdb)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
* call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

Er, I don't really know what is going on here.

] this is strange.  what emacs are you using?  is it an XEmacs?
] 
] could you please investigate this further, namely...
] 
]  - visit bbdb.el; compile and load it;
] 
]  - do C-h f save-current-buffer RET
] 
]  - try (save-current-buffer (set-buffer "*Messages*") (point))

] thanks.
