[Bug 492117] Re: vm-8.0.13 mapvector possibly collides with xemacs built-in function
Thanks very much, Matthew. Sigh... I have to do another release in
quick succession and withdraw 8.0.13. Embarassing...
Can you help us about by testing pre-releases in XEmacs?

vm-8.0.13 mapvector possibly collides with xemacs built-in function

Bug description:
vm-8.0.13 introduced a defun for mapvector in vm-folder. This definition appears to stomp upon the function built into xemacs already:
`mapvector' is a built-in function
(mapvector FUNCTION SEQUENCE)
This became evident trying to invoke latex-mode on a buffer after having upgraded from vm-8.0.12 to vm-8.0.13. This resulted in an error saying that a mapvector usage had an incorrect argument.
Changing vm-folder.el such that it defines and uses vm-mapvector appears to have fixed this behavior.
I was attempting to revert this change to obtain a back trace of the error, but I am currently unable to reproduce the exact one I am experiencing. Nevertheless, it would seem unwise to defun a duplicate of a built-in function.
