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!
Josh Huber noticed some problems with call-process-region and I was
able to successfully reproduce them on my system.
(call-process-region 1 1 "ls" nil)
=> nil
This doesn't seem to match the documentation for the function.
