Never mind; I've figured out why.  You wouldn't start in /
if the operating directory weren't set; it could be
accomplished by a minor hack, but that would be inelegant.
I'm testing your new version now; it's working fine in
preliminary tests.

I've of course updated my usual 3 patches again;
nanoproto.patch is synced with CVS and has a few minor
bugfixes added (when inserting command execution output in
view mode, don't set the modification flag; disable the
new multibuffer toggle in the insert file menu if view
mode and multibuffer mode are both on; make sure the
toggle works properly when toggling in the middle of the
prompt), nanoquote31a.patch is synced with your changes up
to quote33, and nanopara2.patch has a minor change to one
of its shortcut names.

http://pooka_regent.tripod.com/patches/nano/nanopara2-patch.txt

I still can't quite figure out how the one segfault is
occurring.  It only occurs when I have multibuffers turned
on, insert the /usr/bin/elvis binary from Slackware 8.1,
and then close the window; the typescript against
nano-1.1.10-cvs vanilla is attached (and no, I don't yet
understand how it's connected to accessing the shortcuts).
For right now, since it's an apparently rare bug, I'll go
ahead with the testing for nanoproto.h and get that in;
afterwards, I'll get back to this.
