[AUCTeX] TeX-next-error broken for error messages without line number

[Nikolaus Rath]

Hello,

>From http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628790:

,----
| Test case (see original description below for repro steps); save as
| test.tex:
|
| \documentclass{article}
| \begin{document}
| \emph{
| \end{document}
| 
| When you hit C-c C-c LaTeX RET, emacs says "LaTeX errors in `*~/test
| output'. Use C-c ` to display."
| 
| Then I hit C-c ` and I expect one buffer called *TeX Help* to be created
| containing the "Missing } inserted" error, alongside the original
| test.tex buffer.
| 
| But this doesn't happen: instead, two buffers are created: one called
| *TeX Help*, and a read-only buffer called Debian. Both are empty, and
| the minibuffer says: Search failed: "^l\\." These two buffers replace
| the test.tex buffer.
| 
| The problem seems to be that TeX-next-error expects every error in the
| log file to have a line number attached to it. But the error here is
| 
| ! File ended while scanning use of \emph .
| 
| which doesn't generate a line number.
`----

This bug has been marked as upstream, but I couldn't find any reference
to it on the auctex mailing lists.

Has this not yet been reported here? Or is there no separate report
because it has already been fixed in CVS?


Best,

   -Nikolaus
