What were you trying to do?
	read discuss in emacs, recover succesfully from hitting
	'n' at the last x-action of a meeting

What's wrong:
	I was reading:
	charon.MIT.EDU:/usr/spool/discuss/linux-dev
	the last x-action was 469
	when I hit 'n' I get:
	Invalid read syntax: ". in wrong context"
	I've done this 3 times in a row now

	Note that unless I do M-x discuss-restart right away there's
	at least a 50% chance that emacs will start "waiting for discuss"
	and not come back.


What should have happened:
	I should have gotten the message no next transaction.
