I had this too when I check out my configuration in XEmacs.  I think
it has something to do with GNU Emacs being happy to stuff font-lock
and faces info into your BBDB file (either when BBDB snarfs stuff or,
more likely, when you copy and paste out of another Emacs window).

The solution is to look in the file for the #s and replace the sexp
introduced by each # with the actual field contents (which are buried
in the sexp).

I hope that's it anyway...  :-)

peace & happiness,
martin
