[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

under certain circumstances, Freplace_buffer_contents seems to introduce
gibberish into the buffer. i noticed it in org-mode and followed it to
Freplace_buffer_contents with debug, then confirmed with git bisect that
commit 40d8650d517 introduced the problem.

emacs -Q
C-x b test RET
M-x org-mode RET

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(+ 1 2|)
#+end_src

with point at |, two or three RET begins introducing garbage into the
buffer. sometimes this crashes emacs, but i think that's to do with the
garbage getting read. this copy of emacs was built without x to make the
bisect faster, but i can reproduce it in my normal build of master with
pgtk as well. in my initial testing i saw various different characters,
but in this test build it's consistently ^@. not sure if that is helpful
information, since the initial testing had different CFLAGS.

emacs -Q --eval "(funcall (kmacro \"C-x b t e s t RET M-x o r g - m o \
d e RET # + b e g i n _ s r c SPC e m a c s - l i s p RET # + e n d _ \
s r c C-p C-e RET ( + SPC 1 SPC 2 ) C-b RET RET RET RET RET RET RET \RET RET\"))"
