Look at the ilisp code, the problem appears to the the
buffer-substring command in the function ILISP-SEND-REGION in the file
ilisp-hi.el.

In an emacs buffer with font-locking on I have the form
(defvar a) as the first 10 characters.

Then, evaluating (buffer-substring 1 10), I get 

#("(defvar a" 0 1 (lazy-lock t fontified t) 1 7 (face
font-lock-keyword-face lazy-lock t fontified t) 7 8
(lazy-lock t fontified t) 8 9 (face 
font-lock-variable-name-face lazy-lock t fontified t))

So, it appears that a different function that BUFFER-SUBSTRING is
needed with emacs21 and font-locking.

Anyone have any suggestions?
