Hi

I am running a fresh cvs version of auctex.

Using preview-latex in a buffer (C-c C-p C-b), I get the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-regexp "Unmatched ) or \\)")
 signal(invalid-regexp ("Unmatched ) or \\)"))
 preview-reraise-error(#<process Preview-LaTeX>)
 preview-TeX-inline-sentinel(#<process Preview-LaTeX> "Preview-LaTeX")
 TeX-command-sentinel(#<process Preview-LaTeX> "exited abnormally
with code 1\n")

This is happening in documents as little as

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
a $x$   
\end{document}
