Decoding broken by sequence ESC comma |

This bug can be reproduced at least on 24.5 and the current 25 pretest
at the time of this writing.
The occurrence of the sequence of the bytes 1B 2C (ASCII ESC and comma)
messes up Emacs's decoding of an ASCII file from that point on.
This doesn't happen in any other text-displaying application I tested,
including a terminal emulator (given it's an escape sequence and all).
Concrete steps to reproduce:
$ printf 'foo\033,bar' > tmp.txt
$ emacs -q tmp.txt
Expected result:
A buffer displaying "foo^[,bar".
Actual result:
A buffer displaying "fooáò".

Thanks, done.
For the record, the way to prevent unwanted decoding in these cases is
one of:
. Add a 'coding' cookie to the file
. Precede "C-x C-f" with "C-x RET c us-ascii RET"
. "C-x RET r us-ascii RET", like you did.
