Package: emacs21
Version: 21.3+1-4
Severity: normal

Emacs inappropriately complains,

  Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, "รจ"

in at least a couple of places. The ways I've been able to generate this bug
are:

  1. When spell-checking using ispell. After finding a misspelled word, Emacs
     highlights it and brings up a buffer offering some replacements, each one
     tagged with a digit. What is supposed to happen is that I type the digit,
     and that replacement is substituted; what actually happens is that Emacs
     complains with the message above. There are several other command that
     one can give ispell at this point; those work, but typing a letter which
     is not a valid command gives the same message.

  2. When a file that a buffer is visiting is changed on disk and I type into
     that buffer, Emacs asks if I really want to edit the buffer. Regardless
     of what I answer, Emacs complains with the message above.

I've actually been having this issue since Emacs 19 on potato.

Thanks, and please let me know if I can do anything to help track this down.
