Subject: 23.1.50; C-u doesn't work with Swedish characters
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:28:58 +0200

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I hit "C-u ä" expecting it to come out as "ääää".  Instead it comes out
as "ä\344\344ä".  I try "C-u C-u ä" and it comes out as "ä" followed by
fourteen "\344" and then a trailing "ä".  This happens no matter which
kind of repetition I'm doing, be it using C-u or using e.g. M-3.  It's
always the leading and the trailing character that come out right, all
of the other ones are "broken".

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/deniz/usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
