    3. In customization buffer, M-x replace-string to replace apple with abogado.
       It replaces apple with abogadople but with abogado.

This does not happen for me in the latest development Emacs, so
I think the bug is fixed.

By the way, "abogado" is Spanish for "lawyer".
The Spanish for "avocado" is "aguacate", at least in Mexico.
Different words are used in other parts of Latin America.

I tried on cygwin GNU Emacs 21.2.1, on Debian 3.1 emacs21 (21.4a-1)
and it happened.
I believe that is fixed in the latest development Emacs.

And thank you teach me miss spell "avocado" with your knowledge.
