Package: emacs
Version: 24.0.90
Severity: minor
emacs -Q -batch --eval '(yes-or-no-p "foo? ")'
prints "foo? (yes or no)" and waits for input. If you type something
other than yes or no it prints "Please answer yes or no." and repeats
the prompt.
emacs -Q -batch --eval '(y-or-n-p "foo? ")'")'
does not print anything, it just sits there waiting for "y RET" or "n RET".
Entering something other than y or n prints nothing.

Yes, this is a regression caused by moving y-or-n-p to Lisp. I've
checked in a fix for this. (See also Bug#9903 for a related issue).
