bug#10102: emacs 24 read-file-name bug?

[Lachlan Deck]

Been a while. Let’s see…

Mac OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks)

$ brew install emacs --cocoa --use-git-head —HEAD
$ brew linkapps

# alias emacs24="/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw"
# alias e24="/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw -Q”

$ $ emacs24 -version
GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1
…

seems to be okay.

cheers, Lachlan
