Subject: Error in 'Compare buffers'
--text follows this line--
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.

Dear Bug Team!
I found a bug in the function that compares buffers. The problem
is the following:
If one of the buffers name is of length 1, then the error message
'Args out of range: "x", 1' is displayed ("x" is the name of the
buffer).
A second problem, which came with change from version 21.3.? to 21.4,
is that some buffers contain ^M at the end of lines. What can I do to
get rid of them?
Best regards,
Frank Roland.
