bug#2878: Acknowledgement (bindat-pack returns unibyte string for emacs 22 but multibyte string for emacs 23)

[Yee Keat Phuah]

Hi,

snogglethorpe from #emacs have suggested this patch and it worked for
my elisp code

diff --git a/lisp/emacs-lisp/bindat.el b/lisp/emacs-lisp/bindat.el
index 4843e27..154bffe 100644
--- a/lisp/emacs-lisp/bindat.el

   (let ((no-return bindat-raw))
     (unless bindat-idx (setq bindat-idx 0))
     (unless bindat-raw
-      (setq bindat-raw (make-vector (+ bindat-idx (bindat-length spec
struct)) 0)))
+      (setq bindat-raw (make-string (+ bindat-idx (bindat-length spec

     (bindat--pack-group struct spec)
-    (if no-return nil (concat bindat-raw))))
+    (if no-return nil bindat-raw)))
