[ruby-talk:18469] Has the font-lock problem been fixed yet in "ruby-mode.el"?

From: Lloyd Zusman <ljz@...>
Date: 2001-07-24 21:29:37 UTC
List: ruby-talk #18469
I just started using `font-lock' in XEmacs, and I noticed problems
within "ruby-mode.el".  Upon searching on the net, this problem was
reported a few months ago the XEmacs "beta" group a few months ago.
The article that I found is attached below.

The XEmacs error I get (as described in the attached article) is this:

  (warning/warning) Error caught in `font-lock-pre-idle-hook':
    (malformed-list ?\')

This occurs with practically every character that I type, as long as
I'm using font-lock in ruby-mode.

Of course, a first-order fix is to disable font-lock when editing
ruby files.  But I'm looking for a better solution.

Before I go to the time and effort of subscribing to the XEmacs "beta"
group's mailing list, I'd like to check if anyone here has an upgrade
to "ruby-mode.el" which fixes this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.

Article which describes the exact problem that I'm seeing:
