Hello Reid,

I'm triaging old Emacs bugs.

FWIW, I cannot reproduce either of these.

If you are still seeing this, please send a Lisp backtrace for the error
(use M-x toggle-debug-on-error to enable the backtrace) and also check
if this appears in "emacs21 -q".  Also, do you see this with emacs22 as
well?

Regards,
        Sven
