Subject: 23.0.60; universal-coding-system-argument and shell-command problem
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 16:29:11 -0500

Hello,

The documentation for shell-command says this:

  "To specify a coding system for converting non-ASCII characters in
the shell command output, use C-x RET c before this command."

However, the following key sequence results in an error:

  C-x RET c RET M-!

The error is:

  universal-coding-system-argument: Wrong type argument: characterp,
134217761


Reproducable in emacs -q.
