bug#18799: 25.0.50; Can't copy to clipboard on OS X

[Ivan Andrus]

From Emacs -Q configured with --with-ns, kill some text (e.g. from the

*scratch* buffer) and then try and paste it into another program.

Notice that it hasn't been copied.  This works on the emacs-24 branch.

I tried tracking it down and it seems to be due to STRINGP (data)

failing on line 369 of src/nsselect.m.  I didn't try debugging further

to see _why_ it was failing.  I also did not try bisecting it, but I can 

do that if desired.

Thanks,

Ivan
