If you apply this patch, funcerr ought to work; I haven't committed this
to CVS yet, cause I wasn't able to trace when and why the call to
get_funcerr_message() disappeared, so I'll leave it to Allin to provide
a proper fix.
Well it's also in 1.9.5 (I previously worked on current cvs). From the
changelog it seems it may have happened when addons and/or errmsg() were
introduced, between 1.9.3 and 1.9.4.
Anyway, Allin said he has a collection of test scripts he runs before
each release. What about making them public and letting other people
(e.g. from this list) add more test scripts? One of the goals would be
to cover all commands and functions, which would catch problems like the
present one. I guess the sourceforge site could be used for that, for
example introducing another tracker instance.
cheers,
