Re: No GCPRO in directory-files and directory-files-and-attributes

Well, I don't know much about these things, but these lines are from call1:

   args[0] = fn;
   args[1] = arg1;
   GCPRO1 (args[0]);
   gcpro1.nvars = 2;
   RETURN_UNGCPRO (Ffuncall (2, args));

To me it looks as the arguments are protcted.

In eval.c there is the following comment:

   /* NOTE!!! Every function that can call EVAL must protect its args
      and temporaries from garbage collection while it needs them.
      The definition of `For' shows what you have to do.  */

When directory-files and directory-files-and-attributes call file name 
handlers I think eval may be called.
So to me it still looks like a bug. Am I missing something?
