23.0.60; Disabled undo

23.0.60; Disabled undo

[Bill Wohler]

An MH-E user reported that when he sends mail with MH-E in CVS Emacs, he
can't undo. I was able to reproduce the bug and distill the problem down
to the following:

(defun disabled-undo-bug ()
  (interactive)
  (pop-to-buffer "draft")

  ;; Uncomment any one of the next three lines to allow undo.
  (insert-file-contents "/etc/motd")
  (goto-char (point-max))
  (insert-file-contents "/etc/motd")

  (message "Now, try to undo"))

If you run `M-x disabled-undo-bug' followed by `C-_' (`undo'), you get
the message "No further undo information". Undo works in Emacs 22 however.

If you fix this, can you please ack so that I can let my user know.
Thank you.
