I am using Epoch 4.0 Beta Patchlevel 0.

In an attempt to make it easier to produce indented text, I have written
various small pieces of Lisp to change the behaviour of various keys.

In doing so, I have managed to create a situation where 
(current-indentation) does not return the right answer.

Specifically, when (current-indentation) is called on the last line of the
file, and that line is blank (i.e. has no printing characters on it), then
it SOMETIMES returns the wrong answer.  I am not sure what other
condition is necessary, but when it gets into "getting it wrong" mode,
it gets it wrong consistently, returning a "stable" wrong answer that
appears to be three characters (i.e. one user-defined tab-stop) further
over than is should be.  

Has anybody seen anything like this before?  Can anybody suggest what
might be kicking it in to the mode?

Robert
