 GNU Emacs 18.57.4 of Wed Apr  3 1991 on r8e (berkeley-unix)

Killing an empty region puts nil on the kill ring.

If this is yanked back, it produces an error:

Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil

To repeat this (with the standard key bindings)

C-SPC C-w C-y

killing an empty region should put either "" or nothing on the ring,
or the yank functions should skip nil entries.
