I don't have time to work on this--can someone else look at it?

Hi! Has anything happened concerning this? I just built today's CVS (on
Windows), and it seems to still be there.

Thanks,

Yeah, I have f3 redefined to search-forward. Sorry about that, didn't
intentionally trying to confuse you.

In the following two cases, I start Emacs (with my .emacs removed),
start the tutorial, search-forward for string "en", and trying to use
C-x z to search for it again (after the first match). Here is the bug
report output when I get the "Search:" prompt back when pressing C-x z
(after that, I press C-g to break):
