[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.82; xypic command crashes preview-latex

[Alexis Gallagher]

Hi,

I have found that using the \xymatrix command from the xy-pic package
crashes preview-latex. This is in contrast to merely not previewing
correctly, a known issue discuessed on the mailing list in Jan 2006. The
usual remedy, adding "delayed" as an optional argument to
\usepackage{xy}, does not solve this problem.

I enclose here a minimal example file, illustrating both the crasher,
and the known older problem (substituing at signs with <at> to avoid
antispam garbling):

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[all]{xy}

\begin{document}

An xymatrix call which crashes preview-latex:
\[
\xymatrix{
A \ar<at>{-}[d]   & B  \\
C \ar<at>{-}[ur]  & D \ar<at>{-}[u]
}
\]
An xymatrix call which merely does not display:
\[
\xymatrix{A\ar<at>{-}[r] & B}
\]
\end{document}

I would be much obliged for any advice.

Thanks,
alexis
