Subject: copyright-limit's value

Environment
In GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2007-07-08 on CUBE
Windowing system distributor `MW32', version 11.0.1
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4)'


copyright-limit's doc-string is this one.
"*Don't try to update copyright beyond this position unless
interactive.
A value of nil means to search whole buffer."

1. start emacs with -q option
2. M-: (setq copyright-limit nil)
3. and M-x copyright-update
   error--> Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

re-search-forward() 's second argument causes this error.

Its value is selectable as 'nil', and I hope so, thus see patch file.


Best regards,
Kimit Yada
