HI Markus, thanks for the bug report, and the concise way of
replicating it.  I'm afraid however that I can't replicate it, using
Emacs 21.3 (which I think is what you are using looking at your
X-Mailer line).

After evaling the code and typing 1, I do see: 
 > iswitch 1{12,1}

but when I press RET I then get taken to buffer 12:

Loading view...done
Loading iswitchb...done
#<buffer 12>

Which iswitchb are you using -- the one with 21.3?  
(locate-library "iswitchb")
"/home/stephen/datastore/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/iswitchb.elc"

ahh... are you using CVS emacs (it looks like it from the compile
message)?  Can you try 21.3?  I just tried CVS, and get the same error
that you report.  I've not changed iswitchb recently, but will
investigate to see if it is an iswitch or a separate Emacs problem.

The compile errors come in both cases from code that is exec'ed under
XEmacs, not Emacs, so I think those are okay.  I'm not sure there is
anything I can do to silence them under XEmacs.


Thanks for the doc fix.

Best wishes,
Stephen
