[AC21.4] Re: 21.5.18 call-process-region bug
APPROVE COMMIT 21.4
Thanks for the patch, Stephen. It (sans the cod-process.el part) will
appear in 21.4.16, to be released momentarily.

APPROVE COMMIT 21.5 RECOMMEND 21.4
This is a nasty, data-eating bug and my patch fixes all known symptoms
as well as passing what is AFAICT a comprehensive test for similar
bugs, so I'm committing it. Will revert or patch on queries.
The specification is not entirely clear, but I'm assuming that the
effect desired is
(1) Save off the region contents somewhere.
(2) Delete the region from the buffer.
(3) Feed the saved text to the process.
(4) Insert the result before point.
If everybody agrees that's the right way to do this, I'll fix the docs
later (also for 21.4, remind me, Vin).
Vin: the code-process.el patch is _not_ appropriate for 21.4 (21.4 is
not buggy and uses a completely different approach, anyway), but I
think you want the regression tests.
