In GNU Emacs 19.25.92.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3, X toolkit) of Fri Aug  5 1994 on sun11

The paragraph:

   More generally, you can set `special-display-regexps' to a list of
regular expressions; then each buffer whose name matches any of those
regular expressions gets its own frame.

in the info page `(emacs)Special Buffer Frames' led me to believe that
any buffer which matched a regexp in `special-display-regexps' would
be displayed in a seperate frame. Our local emacs expert told me this
is not the case and that it only applied to the 

... certain chosen buffers, that normally appear in a separate
window...

described in the previous paragraph. I guess I misinterpreted the
phrase `More generally" to be too general.


I hope this qualifies as a bug!
