args-out-of-range for 'call-process-region'.

args-out-of-range for 'call-process-region'.

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

I try eval:

   (call-process-region 1 6 "cat" nil t)

and get

   (args-out-of-range 0 5)
   call-process-region(0 5 "cat" nil t)

Also I get same error with such code:

   (with-temp-buffer
    (insert "hello")
    (message "ret: %d" (call-process-region 0 (point-max) "cat" nil t))
    (message (buffer-string)))

What is wrong?

This works for me as expected.  I cannot see how could it happen that
you specified positions 1 to 6 as the region and got an error about 0
to 5.

Buffer positions start from 1, so using zero will definitely and
correctly signal an error.
