[Bug-AUCTeX] bug in tex-expand-list, 11.84-4

[Peter Olmsted]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  If the bug (or problem) is triggered by a specific
(La)TeX file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file
showing the problem and include it in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have just installed the latest auctex, 11.84-4. Out of the box,
latex and tex are configured with a %x expansion character in tex- 
command-list.  E.g.
as "latex %x  %t".

However, this character isn't defined in the tex-expand list. As a  
result latex and tex crashed
when run. I couldn't work  out how to define %x as "nil" so I just  
removed this expansion character from tex and
latex (as you can see below) in tex-command-list.

Thanks,
