Re: error in replace-match: "args out of range" [SOLVED]

[PJ Weisberg]

M-x report-emacs-bug is probably the best way.  The docstrings for
match-string and replace-match should emphasize that ANY code that
deals with strings--notably code that gives control to the user--is
liable to replace the "last matched" string, so those functions should
be called right away after you do the match.
