emacs -Q
In *scratch* buffer, type this, then use C-x C-e after it:
(princ (substitute-command-keys "\\{global-map}") (current-buffer))
 
You will see this:
 
key             binding
---             -------
 
\200 .. \377 self-insert-command
 
C-@  set-mark-command
C-a  move-beginning-of-line
 
etc.
 
The bug is that the \200 and the \377 are treated differently. The
\200 is a single octal character; the \377 is four characters, \, 3,
7, 7.
 
This has consequences for code that uses this output as input.
