inconsistent clipboard results

[Dieter Deyke]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

After putting something on the Windows clipboard by selecting text in
notepad and typing C-c there, in emacs

(x-selection-exists-p 'CLIPBOARD) returns t

but

(x-get-selection 'CLIPBOARD) returns nil

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
