I don't even understand what this is supposed to do.

Yet you happily threw it away :-(

Because there are no such precautions elsewhere in the code, and the comment above ("In case garbage collection has removed OLD-BUL") does not explain what its purpose is. A few lines below, old-bul is used without such a precaution. Of course, if it has a purpose, it's okay to keep it.


I didn't remember the main reason why I removed that (cdr ptr). The reason is not only that the comment above it is wrong, but also that this (cdr ptr) condition itself is wrong: it makes that loop stop when the last element of the buffer-undo-list is reached. When buffer-undo-list is initially nil, (funcall body) adds a number of entries in buffer-undo-list, and there is no reason to exit that loop without processing its last element.
