From: trentbuck <at> gmail.com (Trent W. Buck) To: 6212 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#6212: 23.2; ^S^Q^@ --error--> Wrong type argument: characterp, 67108896 Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 01:10:16 +1000
Attempting to insert a literal ^@ control character worked in 23.1. In 23.2, it results in an error: Wrong type argument: characterp, 67108896 I am typing C-q C-SPC, in Emacs in Screen in linux's fbcon. Since ^@ is the zeroth character, perhaps this is an off-by-one or overflow error somewhere. The same error occurs when typing C-q C-@. The use case is to find high-bit (non-ASCII) characters in a file of indeterminate Windows codepage encoding. I normally type C-M-s [^ C-q C-SPC -~] (since ^@ and ~ are the bounds of the ASCII character set). This no longer works.
