Subject: 23.2; beginning-of-buffer inconsistent mark behavior
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:09:21 +0100

The doc-string for `beginning-of-buffer' says that it leaves the mark at
the previous position.  But it is not doing so when the
transient-mark-mode is active.  

`end-of-buffer' is also the same.  I don't know what other commands have
this problem.

Cheers,
Uday
