In definition of function `find-file-noselect' in file "files.el" from line 1807 to 1816 ;; Certain files should be reverted automatically ;; if they have changed on disk and not in the buffer. ((and (not (buffer-modified-p buf)) (let ((tail revert-without-query) (found nil)) (while tail (if (string-match (car tail) filename) ===> (setq found t)) (setq tail (cdr tail))) found)) ==> when tail is `t' since `revert-without-query' is `t' , it signals a "Wrong type argument: listp, t". Should it be checked? Thanks.
