emacs -Q
C-u 0 M-x newline
  => (error "Nonpositive repetition argument 0")

There is no such error message with emacs 24.3.
newline simply does nothing when called with arg 0.

I encountered this error when running bibtex-prepare-new-entry
which may call newline with arg 0.  So this function in bibtex.el is
currently broken and other functions in emacs doing the same might
be broken, too.
