Hi Wolfgang,
I was unable to reproduce this error with JDEE 2.3.3 and XEmacs 21.4
(patch 6) "Common Lisp (Windows)". Specifically, in a JDEE buffer, I
performed the following steps:
1. M-x write-abbrev-file ~/abbrevs
2. M-x read-abbrev-file ~/abbrevs
with no errors. The file XEmacs wrote looked very much like yours.
So apparently it is okay, at least on some versions of XEmacs, to
write out abbreviations that use functions to generate expansions.
I also performed the same steps on Emacs 21.3.1, again without
errors.
