keyboard macro record/playback is broken

If you try to record a keyboard macro that consists of searching for a specific text string in the current buffer, when you playback that macro it fails with the message:

wrong type argument: natnump, nil

I am using XEmacs in viper-mode. Here is how to reproduce the above scenario in viper-mode:

start recording the keyboard macro
type "/" to enter search mode (viper)
enter some text to search for
type <Enter> to do search
stop macro recording
playback macro

Here is another scenario that will cause this to happen (in viper-mode):

start recording the keyboard macro
type "i" to enter insert mode (viper)
insert some text
type <ESC> to exit insert mode
stop macro recording
playback macro

Thanks.
