bug#16035: 24.3.50; Custom isearch broken on trunk (e.g. change-log-mode)

[Anders Lindgren]

Hi Juri and Stefan!

I just found another (minor) detail problem regarding the new isearch system.

I sometimes use ESCAPE as the meta key. However, to exit an isearch search, pressing the real meta key (Cmd, on my mac) and < work as intended. However, the sequence ESCAPE < does not. Emacs simply responds that "<escape> < is undefined".

Do you want me to file a new bug report, or does this mail suffice?

I fixed this case as well.  Multi-buffer and multi-file search
can set the buffer list globally.  And comint.el and dired-aux.el
don't need the global value - they use the let-bound value
only in a setup hook.
