bug#1969: 23.0.60; rm doesn't work in eshell

[Magnus Henoch]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

emacs -Q
M-x eshell RET
touch foo RET
rm foo RET

The last command doesn't delete the file, but gives the message:
Symbol's value as variable is void: interactive



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I can't reproduce this with latest CVS (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.14.4, 2009-01-20).  `rm' works fine for me.  Could you turn on
debug-on-error and try to track this down?

I just ran make maintainer-clean and recompiled the sources, and that
seems to have fixed the problem.  Sorry about the noise...
