Hi Wolfgang,

I get this by doing trace-function on call-process-region.

It looks like the arguments are passed alright .. but the result
buffer *test* shows just "abc" (without quotes) as in the GIF I posted
in my previous email.

======================================================================
1 -> (call-process-region 18234 18234 "/bin/tcsh" nil #<buffer *test*>
nil "-c" "echo abc#def")
1 <- call-process-region: 0
