I'm running into problems with my gdbmrecent JED mode, which tries to parse
the string "1107859249:33:1" into a timestamp and line and column numbers.
extract_element("1107859249:33:1", 0, ':') is returning "1107859249:33:1" and
integer("1107859249:33:1") is giving a syntax error.  The documentation says: 

   If the string does not form a valid
   integer, a type-mismatch error will be generated.

But a syntax error is not a type-mismatch error.

extract_element("1107859248:33:1", 0, ':') works fine.  So does
extract_element("1107859239:33:1", 0, ':')
etc, etc.

Incidentally, I can avoid this problem by using my atoi() function instead
of integer().  I thought there would be a new atoi() or strtol()?
