Subject: 23.0.60; read-char can evaluate to non-character
Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2008 07:09:36 +0200 (CEST)

In "$ emacs -Q", when I evaluate:

   (read-char)

and press C-0, I get:

   67108912

However, (characterp 67108912) is nil, and (char-to-string 67108912)
throws an error. Thus I expect an error also from read-char in this
case. Besides, in `char-resolve-modifers', "modifiers" is misspelled.
