This code I have been using for long and worked well in previous version.
i.e, Emacs 22.....
and since I loaded Fedora 11 and from their repository  emacs 23.1
many of my lisp codes malfunction.

The loaded file contains utf-8 codes of devanagari ( indian root language).
The simplest code that failed
(defun temay()
   "Temporary script to xltn itrans files and revert buffer"
   (interactive)
   (setq pos (point))
;;or (save excursion)
   ;;(message "point set %d" pos)
   (save-restriction
     (widen)
     (save-buffer)
     (setq localvar ( concat "xltn -f " (buffer-file-name)))
     (shell-command localvar)
     (revert-buffer nil t nil))
   ;;(message "point set %d" pos)
   ;;(message "point returned %d" (goto-char pos))
   (goto-char pos)
)

insert-file-contents tries to keep markers if possible, but that only
works if the marker points into the unchanged head or tail of the
replaced contents.
