Fixed with [email-masked]

2010-04-29  Stefan Monnier  <[email-masked]>

        Fix wrong-docstring problem introduced with hash-consing.  (Bug#6008)
        * eval.c (Fautoload): Set doc to a unique number rather than to 0.
        Remove unused var `args'.
        * lisp.h (XSETCARFASTINT, XSETCDRFASTINT): Remove.
        (LOADHIST_ATTACH): Wrap with do...while to avoid surprises for callers.
        * doc.c (store_function_docstring): Use XSETCAR.

ediff is an alias for `ediff-files' in `ediff.el'.

(ediff)

Zone out, completely.

which is, of course, the docstring for `zone'.
