Subject: '^@' character instead of text
--text follows this line--
In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Tue Aug  9 1994 on elmat01 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux9)
an apparent bug causes text buffers to become filled with '^@'
characters.

Since I'm not an experienced emacs user, I will just describe what
happens on some occasions:


*) When I try to access the info system, I only get one very long line
of '^@' characters, that takes up about 3/4 of the screen.

*) When I try to execute 'dired' the same thing happens, but the line
is shorter.

*) I think it was the scrolling past the end of a file, that caused
the edited text to be replaced with again a string of '^@' characters.

In all cases there were error messages in the minibuffer, e.g. about not
being able to find 'Menu' in the info file.
I tried to run emacs in non-X mode, that is, it ran in the xterm
window, but it improved nothing.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.
I know of someone who posted a similar error with '^@' signs last
week, but apparently he didn't have any solutions yet.

Thanks, Andreas

N.B. I don't know if it has something to do with it, but when I reopened this
file (created with emacs 'bug-report') to edit it some more with vi, I got the 
warning 'incomplete last line'.
