Subject: 28.0.50; Cannot list the list group
Date: Sun, 09 May 2021 14:22:37 +0300

I cannot repeat this in emacs -Q, this takes place in my running Emacs
session:

I do:
C-h f list

and inside I go with cursor to the hyperlinked `list` followed by the
word "group". I press enter, and I get this:


(lax-plist-put plist prop val)
  Change value in PLIST of PROP to VAL, comparing with ‘equal’.
  (setq plist (plist-put plist "d" 4))

(plist-member plist prop)
  Return non-nil if PLIST has the property PROP.
  (plist-member '(a 1 b 2 c 3) 'b)
    ⇒ (b 2 c 3)

Data About Lists

(length sequence)
  Return the length of vector, list or string SEQUENCE.
  (length '(a b c))
    ⇒ 3

I cannot reproduce that.  Did you try make bootstrap yet?

This can only happen if (documentation 'length<) returns nil, which
shouldn't be possible.  So I think you have a mis-built Emacs.  Try
saying "make bootstrap" or the like.

This was a month ago, and there was no response, so I'm closing this bug
report.  If the problem still exists, please respond to this email and
we'll reopen the bug report.
