Sorry Christopher, but that version is broken, too (as I have already
reported to the XEmacs newsgroup). Please use

(defun set-text-properties (start end props &optional buffer)
  "You should NEVER use this function.  It is ideologically blasphemous.
It is provided only to ease porting of broken FSF Emacs programs."
  (if (stringp buffer)
      nil
    (map-extents #'(lambda (extent ignored)
		     (remove-text-properties start end
					     (list (extent-property extent
								    'text-prop)
						   nil)
					     buffer))
		 buffer start end nil nil 'text-prop)
    (add-text-properties start end props buffer)))


which will probably go into XEmacs 19.14, according to a note from Ben Wing.

Cheers,
	Peter

This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen...
