Re: problems with face-spec-reset-face and set-face-attribute

[Richard M. Stallman]

        <Eli> This seems to be a bug in internal-set-lisp-face-attribute that is
        specific to the :inherit attribute.  When I try your recipe with other
        attributes, like :foreground or :slant, everything works as expected.
        (A good face to try this is `fringe': when it changes, you see the
        effect immediately.)

        Perhaps there is a bug.

Eli, is there really a bug here?
If so, could you send a self-contained bug report?
