bug#18799: 25.0.50; Can't copy to clipboard on OS X

From Emacs -Q configured with --with-ns, kill some text (e.g. from the
*scratch* buffer) and then try and paste it into another program.
Notice that it hasn't been copied.  This works on the emacs-24 branch.

I tried tracking it down and it seems to be due to STRINGP (data)
failing on line 369 of src/nsselect.m.  I didn't try debugging further
to see _why_ it was failing.  I also did not try bisecting it, but I can
do that if desired.

Thanks,
Ivan

bug#18799: 25.0.50; Can't copy to clipboard on OS X

[Harald Hanche-Olsen]

I see the same behaviour with an emacs compiled from trunk yesterday.
Furthermore, while copying text from external sources into emacs works
initially, it stops working as soon as you kill some text in emacs.

Bugs 18799 and 18816 are duplicates. One of them should be closed or
merged into the other, however that goes.
