Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

completing-read-multiple as in:

- ---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---

(completing-read-multiple
 "prompt: "
 '(("str1" 1) ("str2" 2) ("str3" 3) ("str" 4))
 nil t "str1,str2" nil "str1,str2")

- ---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---

is completely ignoring the DEF argument if an empty string is provided
when the function is called.


If emacs crashed, and you have the emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
