Error fontifying JavaScript tag inside ASP JScript string

[Nicholas Riley]

I upgraded my copy of nXhtml from 2.07 to the current bzr version. I'm using nXhtml to edit ASP JScript (yeah, yeah) and I now get an error when attempting to open a file with the following contents:

<% "<script language='JavaScript'>" %>

(of course, the original problem happened on a much larger file :-)

The error is:

mumamo-fontify-region: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil
** In buffer broken.asp
  backtrace()
  mumamo-display-error(mumamo-fontify-region "%s" "Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil")
  byte-code("\301\302\303\304!#\207" [err mumamo-display-error mumamo-fontify-region "%s" error-message-string] 5)
  mumamo-fontify-region(1 44 nil)
  font-lock-fontify-region(1 44)
  run-hook-with-args(font-lock-fontify-region 1 44)
  byte-code("\302\303 #\207" [start next run-hook-with-args jit-lock-functions] 4)
  jit-lock-fontify-now(1 501)
  jit-lock-function(1)
  mumamo-jit-lock-function(1)

Afterwards the cursor gets stuck after the ">".

I have tested with stock Emacs (23.2 and 23.3) just running nXhtml and nothing more.

I cannot run M-x nxhtml-report-bug because I get "Symbol's function definition is void: recentf-save-list" when I run emacs-Q-nxhtml.

Thanks.

This still happens with the current nXhtml and Emacs 24.0.94.1. I found a workaround, which may not be the cleanest thing, but it seems to work OK. Patch is attached.
