In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.0.2195) of 2002-03-19 on buffy configured using `configure --with-msvc (12.00)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: NOR 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: I start up emacs from WinCVS and run ediff to compare two buffers. Emacs then gives the following error message: c:\Programfiler\GNU\WinCvs 1.2\diff.exe: missing operand c:\Programfiler\GNU\WinCvs 1.2\diff.exe: Try `c:\Programfiler\GNU\WinCvs 1.2\diff.exe --help' for more information. If I open the same files from a stand alone emacs it works just fine. This occures with ntemacs 20.7 and 21.2. I run WinCVS and emacs on W2K.
