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!
When I list the system's processes via "M-x ps" or "M-x
View-process-status",
the process list appears, but XEmacs begins to beep as soon as the mouse
pointer is moved over the non-empty region in the *ps* buffer (i.e. from a
line's last character to the left). The message in the minibuffer is: "Wrong
type argument: number-char-or-marker-p, nil".
This does not happen with 21.5.9 and 21.4.11.

I can confirm this. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to look into it
(not sure when I'd be able to either). Is there anyone else who could
take a look at this?
