Speaking of changes to emacs-24, may I ask why the bugfix for bug#11374 has been committed to the release branch? It is not a regression, and though it fixes a real bug, that bug has never been reported in more than five years, not even in bug#11374, which is just the result of a survey of strncpy calls in the sources, I think. The fix is relatively small, but not trivial enough that it couldn't hide another bug in what is a crucial part of emacsclient.c. Confused, =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
