In-reply-to: Frank P. Bresz's message of Mon, 9 Apr 90 23:31:38 EDT <9004100331.AA00707@ittc> This is a known bug which I asked about a few weeks ago. I received a patch. However I didn't apply it since it required a recompile of emacs (the fix is in C). If you want the patch I can send it to you. Thanks for the offer, but since I do not urgently need it for myself, I would not install it if it is not made part of the standard emacs distribution. Whenever I meet a bug, I report it mainly because the author of GNU emacs, whom made its product free, requires us to do so. GNU emacs is a wonderful product, a kind blessing; furthermore, Richard Stallman and his followers have a quite open mind about program or documentation bugs. GNU people support GNU products (not only emacs) in a way which extends, and by far, everything I ever saw from many software selling companies requiring expensive support contracts. This particular fact adds a lot of credibility to the viability of the FSF goals. -- Franc,ois Pinard ``Vivement GNU!'' pinard@iro.umontreal.ca (514) 588-4656 cp 886 L'Epiphanie (Qc) J0K 1J0 ...!uunet!iros1!pinard
