Latest change to process.c broke M-x gdb

[Kim F. Storm]

Try this:

cd emacs/src
emacs -Q
M-x gdb
(suggests emacs as default) RET
r -Q RET

produces this backtrace (with debug-on-error):

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p #("r -Q
" 0 4 (fontified t) 4 5 nil))
  utf-8-pre-write-conversion(#("r -Q\n" 0 4 (fontified t) 4 5 nil) nil)
  process-send-string(#<process gud-emacs> #("r -Q\n" 0 4 (fontified t) 4 5 
nil))
  gdb-send-item(#("r -Q\n" 0 4 (fontified t) 4 5 nil))
  gdb-enqueue-input(#("r -Q\n" 0 4 (fontified t) 4 5 nil))
  gdb-send(#<process gud-emacs> #("r -Q" 0 4 (fontified t)))
  comint-send-input()
  call-interactively(comint-send-input)


Reverting this change restores correct behaviour:

2007-02-23  Kenichi Handa  <address@hidden>

        * process.c (send_process_object_unwind): New function.
        (send_process_object): New function.
        (Fprocess_send_region): Call send_process_object.
        (Fprocess_send_string): Likewise.

Why was that change made?
