Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.7, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-03-03 on yeti configured using `configure --prefix=/usr/gnu' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: iso_8859_1 value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: C locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: In my .emacs I setq vc-checkout-switches "-zLT" ;default Time Zone = Local (RCS/CVS) vc-checkin-switches "-zLT" ;idem vc-register-switches "-zLT" ;idem If I then try to register a file, I get the following error message: apply: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("-zLT") I guess that the "-zLT" string is converted to a list and then checked as a string! If the string is "zLT" instead I get the same error. This bug was not present in Emacs 20.6 and 20.7. If I remove the 3 customization lines above from my .emacs, the registering works fine. Thanks in advance for your help. Laurent Mugnier.
