With this .emacs file I am able to reproduce the error. The error
message implicates the tex-mode-hook stanza which begins on line 195 of
the .emacs file. Apparently forward-sexp cannot cope with the character
literal for a literal semicolon character, which I think is a bug if
Emacs doesn't otherwise choke on it. Changing the line
(modify-syntax-entry ?; "w")
to
(modify-syntax-entry ?\; "w")
allows forward-sexp to parse the sexp correctly.
I don't think Debian ever shipped with a default .emacs file but I could
be wrong.
** Changed in: emacs22 (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- emacs22 (X11) "don't show startup screen again" fails
