bug#19454: 24.3; apply doesn't work as in Common Lisp

[address@hidden]

(apply 'mapcar 'list '((1 2))) ; ((1) (2))
(apply 'mapcar 'list '((1 2) (3 4))) ; error

The error is:

*** Eval error ***  Wrong number of arguments: mapcar, 3

In Common Lisp `(apply 'mapcar 'list '((1 2) (3 4)))' would be
`'((1 3) (2 4))'.
