Wait a minute.  I recently also found pc-selection.el broken with the latest
CVS version, but what I am using is the "lisp/emulation/pc-selection.el.gz"
which shipped with Emacs.  This patch seems only apply to the "standalone
version" version of pc-selection.el (maybe this one?
ftp://ftp.thp.uni-duisburg.de/pub/source/elisp/pc-select.el).  Are you guys
all using the standalone version?  I think we need a patch for the official
pc-select.el too, it's broken now.
