Yes, XEmacs has a character type that is separate from an integer type
such that

     (eq 10 (char-to-int ?\n))

is t. 

As GNU Emacs does not have a char-to-int function, Mel's patch seems
reasonable to me to allow both GNU Emacs and XEmacs to use the same
gnats.el file.

I urge adoption of this patch.

        Thanks,
