Ditto. Time passes...

I had already done similarly, FWIW. To me it does not constitute a proof
that the bug is fixed. If it convinces you, fine; close the bug, as I said.

Sorry, I don't have the time to do that. And as I said, IMO this
alone doesn't convince me that the bug is fixed. It might be fixed;
I don't know. I hope it is.
If you can convince yourself in 5 minutes that it is fixed, great.
The bug (#3938) was filed almost exactly 7 years ago, with a very short
recipe to reproduce, starting from `emacs -Q'. Likewise, for the merged
bug (#5923) - 6 years ago, with other emacs -Q recipes
(http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5923#23,
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5923#26).
Responses from Stefan at the time:
But to tell you the truth the handling of this-command-keys and
universal-argument prefix is much too delicate for me to understand it...
Thank you for your efforts digging into this bug. I must say I know
even less than you do about those parts of the code. It's clearly too
intricate for its own good, but I don't know how to streamline it.
That was it. It died on the vine in 2010. If it somehow got fixed
accidentally in the interim, great.
"One could _hope_ for a more cooperative response, I think."
But all's well that ends well. (Assuming it is ended, and well.)
