A while back, Stefan changed end-of-defun, making it do some additional
movement beyond what end-of-defun-function does.

2007-11-26  Stefan Monnier  <address@hidden>

            * emacs-lisp/lisp.el (end-of-defun): Restructure so that
            end-of-defun-function is called consistently, even for
            negative arguments.

This led to an infloop in python under the circumstances of bug#2106,
and I made some additional changes to try to prevent such infloops from
occurring.  But possibly the original, simpler version of end-of-defun
is better, I don't know.
