In GNU Emacs 18.51.3 of Mon Jun  6 1988 on uhccux (berkeley-unix)

The Elisp function  skip-chars-forward  is supposed to have a
method of quoting chars which would normally have special
meaning.  However, given a buffer with the following chars

\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-\^-

and the sexp (skip-chars-forward "\\^\\-\\\\"), it only gets as
far as the first backquote.  The problem is in the code which
determines quoted characters, and the following patch fixes the
bug (which also exists in version 18.54):
