comint.elc

There is a problem with the compiled version of comint.elc (at least with
few people that I spoke to) It gives an error "last thing matched was not
a buffer" for the function comint-replace-by-expanded-filename
I downloaded comint.el and instead of compiling it and (reuire ..) I used
(load-file ..)  and now it works as it is supposed to.

Can someone tell me why the original one is not doing the proper job.

P.S. I tried to byte-compile the file but it gives few errors see below


Compiling file /home/jeaneid/.xemacs/comint.el at Thu Sep  1 09:01:46 2005
While compiling comint-exec-1:
  ** reference to free variable system-uses-terminfo
While compiling comint-arguments:
  ** variable value bound but not referenced
While compiling comint-show-output:
  ** variable pos bound but not referenced
While compiling the end of the data:
  ** The following functions are not known to be defined: read-event,
     posn-window, event-start, listify-key-sequence



Thank you
