This fails in a recent version; would someone please fix it?

If the symbols as alist keys are replaced with strings, it does
not fail.  However, both cases are supposed to work.
So this is a bug.

Hello,

The following code exhibits a behavior of completing-read that I would call a
bug.  Or am I missing something?

(let ((table '((foo . "you selected foo")
               (foobar . "you selected foobar"))))
  (completing-read "Symbol: " table nil 'require-match))

The unexpected behavior is that it is impossible to select `foo'.

Thanks,
John Foerch

I updated emacs from cvs and compiled on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 at 01:44:43 (GMT)

and this code works to me... maybe somebody has already solved it in the meantime...
