When I visit the emacs-bug-with-utf8.tar.gz file that Prof. Dr. Doeringer
attached with emacs-21.3.1 -q --no-site-file, then visit utf8.in or utf8.in.2
with `C-x RET c utf-8 RET f' I get this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integerp [emacs-mule-unix 
emacs-mule-dos emacs-mule-mac])
   coding-system-change-eol-conversion(utf-8 [emacs-mule-unix emacs-mule-dos 
emacs-mule-mac])
   tar-extract()
   call-interactively(tar-extract)
   universal-coding-system-argument()
* call-interactively(universal-coding-system-argument)

That's because tar-extract doesn't handle the case where coding-system-eol-type
returns a vector for the detected coding system.  Here's a patch:

Hi,
I have encountered a problem with the utf-8 encoding in emacs

In essence (please consult the single-line files that come enclosed):
 I load the file utf8.in.2 into emacs and then write it out to utf8.goodout.2 - things are fine!
 This file contains just all umlauts.

 I load the file utf8.in into emacs and write it out to utf8.badout - when emacs prompts
   me for the encoding I select "utf-8". Things are not good then.
   This file (utf8.in) contains the name Oeztuerk, where Oe and ue are written as umlauts

The files utf8.in and utf8.in.2 where created with TextEdit on a Mac using UTF-8 encoding and
then checked for proper encoding using hexdump -C. To my knowledge, the files are ok.

I hope this is of help. Please contact me if you need more information.
Yours truly, willi doeringer
