Hey emacs-dev, I'm seeing surprising behaviour from emacsclient --eval: $ emacs -Q --daemon … Starting Emacs daemon. $ emacsclient --eval '(progn (find-file "emacsclient-input") (buffer-string))' "\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEE EEE EEEEEE EEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEE\n\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE E EEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEE\n\nEE EEE-EEEEEEE \\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\nEE EEE-EEEEEEE \\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\nEEEEEE EEEE *ERROR*: Unknown message: E EE EEEEE\n" This error message isn't in emacsclient-input. Worse, it is not even deterministic: $ emacsclient --eval '(progn (find-file "emacsclient-input") (buffer-string))' "\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEE EEE EEEEEE EEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEE\n\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE E EEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEEEE\\EEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEE\n\nEE EEE-EEEEEEE \\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\nEE EEE-EEEEEEE \\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\\EEEEEEEEEEEEE\n\nEEEEEE EEEE_EEEEE EE EEEEE\n" (the output is still corrupted: there's no ‘_’ in the source file either). I've attached emacsclient-input. Can someone help me figure what's going wrong? The error doesn't appear if I modify any of the backslashes, dashes, or newlines in the input... Cheers, Clément.
