Full log
Message #5 received at submit <at> emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com (full text, mbox):
The behaviour of where-is-internal has changed in CVS emacs. Enter
view mode, M-: (where-is-internal 'self-insert-command nil nil nil) :
22.2 => ([491520] [458752] [442368] [425984] [409600]...)
CVS => ([(128 . 4194303)])
This change breaks describe-function-1, used internally in
describe-key, causing a bound key to be printed as a non-ascii
character in some conditions. To reproduce the problem:
emacs -Q
C-h k k
Switch to the *Help* buffer
C-h k k
where-is-internal seems to be buggy, but perhaps describe-function-1
should also be doing more checking. I'm not sure if it should handle
input of the form ([(128 . 4194303)]) or not.
