keep-lines doesn't properly convert rend to a marker

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2002-03-19 on buffy

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

If one calls keep-lines and passes an integer (not a marker!) in rend, rend
will not be converted to a marker within keep-lines.  This causes problems
if any deletions are made.
