No worries.

I just got the latest from CVS and tried compiling, but I can't get
it to compile right now, so I can't check whether your fix works for
me.  Here's the error:

  LC_ALL=C ./temacs -batch -l loadup dump
  emacs: Invalid hash table rehash threshold: 0.8
  make[1]: *** [emacs] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chris/programs/emacs/src'

But a visual inspection shows that you only edited the regexp in one
file.  You've left it unchanged in lisp/startup.el.  I don't
understand why we have the same value defined in 2 different files,
but I found that I had to change it in both places to get the change
to work for me.

I intend to get to the bottom of that, but at the moment can't get
Emacs to even compile.  I'll get back to you if I find what's going
on.
