Re: CVS Emacs list-buffer-noselect calls set-window-buffer, displays every buffer briefly!

so here it goes again)

Could you please try to verify if this really works?  I tried the same
thing but i did not get the right results.  My testcase was M-x shell,
M-x rename-uniquely, M-x shell, exit.  Now i have two shell buffers,
one running, one not. C-x C-b from the running shell adds ":run" to
both buffers in the buffer-list. The same thing from the finished
shell adds ":exit [0]" to both.  I have not found time to take a
closer look at why Richards patch does not seem to work for me.  And
yes i applied Richards patch and recompiled emacs ;-).

Oh with this simpler patch the progn could be omitted.
