> The following bug exists in CVS Emacs as of 2009-03-20. In lisp/subr.el, the

> with two arguments instead of one. This patch fixes that.

C-h f select-frame RET:

   (select-frame frame &optional norecord)
   ...

so the problem you're trying to fix is elsewhere.

Actually, this second argument was added to select-frame specifically
for use in with-selected-frame ;-)
