21.1.14 shows the buggy behavior for short and long strings!
(emacs-version) "XEmacs 21.1 (patch 14) \"Cuyahoga Valley\" [Lucid]
(i386-pc-win32) of Mon May 21 2001 on D5DC120J" entertains this bug for
strings of any length:
(replace-in-string
"This %s has under 50 characters." "%S" "string")
"This string has under 50 characters."
(replace-in-string
"This %s, on the other hand, has just over 50 characters." "%S"
"string")
"This string, on the other hand, has just over 50 characters."
But what's the value of case-fold-search in that case ?
Didier, we might need to work around this bug in patcher.el.
What do you think?
I'm a bit reluctant to "fix" Patcher when the bug is in XEmacs. I
would definitely not for unstable versions like 21.4 and 21.5. The question
sounds reasonable for 21.1 which is the official stable version. But how many
users of 21.1 are likely to use Patcher right now ?
