[net.emacs] bug in Gosling's

kimbo (05/06/83)

(emacs-version) => "Emacs #85 of Tue Jul 20"
Problem: re-search-reverse with \= fails at the end of the buffer.
For example:
Create a buffer with a space as its only character.  Goto the end of file
and do a re-s..-rev.. for " \=".  The response is "Can't find it".
However, if the buffer instead had a space followed by a newline, the
same search done with dot between these 2 char's (correctly) moves the
cursor to the beginning of the file.

You may not think this is a bug, but I do.
(error-occured ...) does not preserve any message that was set before
it is called.  While it should not present the error message that 
is set inside it, it should not blast any message that you set outside.
