Subject: 24.0.92; align-regexp fails

From: David Caldwell <[email-masked]>

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

Given the following lines:

     hello->there
     hi->there

Mark them and then do "M-x align-regexp RET - > RET". I get an error:

  align-regexp: Wrong type argument: markerp, 0

It doesn't actually matter what regex I enter; I get the error on all
inputs.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG.
