[PATCH] 24.3.50; subword-capitalize at the end of a buffer jumps to the beginning |

Hi.
I'm observing subword-capitalize get confused when called near the end
of a buffer. Instead of doing nothing like capitalize-word does,
subword-capitalize jumps to around the beginning of the buffer and
capitalizes something there.
The cause is simple. subword-capitalize does
(re-search-forward "[[:alpha:]]" ....)
and uses the results of this search even if it failed. The attached
patch explicitly checks for search failure and exits the function in
that case.

Thanks. I slightly simplified your patch (since re-search-forward
already signal search-failed if the 3rd arg is nil) and installed it.

PS: This is at least the second "tiny" patch you contributed, so you're
on course to hit the limit of what we can accept without
copyright paperwork. If you'd like to sign this paperwork already to
avoid future delays, I can send you the needed forms.
