The actual node is:
(info "(eintr)kill-new function")
And it does look like the line above is incorrect. It does not appear in
the code for the kill-new function in simple.el, and from the
explanation in the info node, it sounds as if it serves the same purpose
as the preceding line:
(push string kill-ring)
I guess the (push ...) function should have replaced the (setq ...)
function, but the (setq ...) never got deleted.
Cheers,
Tyler
