[Brett Presnell] Re: Fedora Core 3: File mode specification error

We have had several reports of AUCTeX bombing out under Fedora Core 3.
It turns out that the Emacspeak package is at fault here by bundling
an utterly outdated version of regexp-opt.el.  Please check your
installation procedure and don't install regexp-opt.el on systems
where it is already available.

The particular problem with this version is that (regexp-opt nil) will
bomb out.

At the current point of time, we can only recommend "deinstall
Emacspeak" to people experiencing problems.  We might be forced to
install a workaround, anyway, in order to save our reputation, but you
_really_ should not install outdated and basically unmaintained old
copies of packages.

Here is the message in question:
