[Savannah-users] bookmarks trouble OS X 10.8 with Emacs 24.2

[David Dreisigmeyer]

I'm an OS X 10.8 with Emacs 24.2.  Here's a description of the problems with bookmarks:

1) Have (setq bookmark-default-file "~/.emacs.d/bookmarks/default")

2) Open Emacs and create some bookmarks

3) Save the current bookmarks and exit Emacs

4) Reopen Emacs and try to load the file.  I get this warning:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/dwdreisigmeyer/.emacs':

Invalid function: (bound-to (filename . ~/Programming/lisp/practice/match.lisp) (front-context-string . bound-to (v sub)) (rear-context-string . atch)

(defun ) (position . 95))

but the bookmarks are still available.

5) Now do ./Emacs --no-init-file --debug-init

6) When I try to load the bookmark file in ~/.emacs.d/bookmarks/default I have the following in *Messages" and the file is not loaded.

Upgrading bookmark format from 0 to 1...

bookmark-alist-from-buffer: Not bookmark format

Here's what the bookmark file looks like:

;;;; Emacs Bookmark Format Version 1 ;;;;

;;; This format is meant to be slightly human-readable;

;;; nevertheless, you probably don't want to edit it.

;;; -*- End Of Bookmark File Format Version Stamp -*-

(("bound-to"

 (filename . "~/Programming/lisp/practice/match.lisp")

 (front-context-string . "bound-to (v sub)")

 (rear-context-string . "atch)\n\n\n\n(defun ")

 (position . 95))

)

Thanks,

-Dave
