Re: font-lock and shell scripts: Raises redisplay errors in highlight pattern:

[T. V. Raman]

I'll try to reproduce a backtrace --- wil need to first disable
the advice I threw around it to get rid of the annoyance.

Note that I've not changed or modified font-lock-keywords for
shell-script mode as far as I can tell.

One possibility is that I'm noticing these errors when others
dont because I advice 'error in emacspeak to get auditory alerts
for errors.
Since 'error does not return, this has to be a before advice.
A side-consequence of this is that errors that are later by  an
error-handler further up the call stack end up still getting
signaled auditorally.
