Hi,
Attached file demonstrates GNU Emacs 21.2.1 starting process if a text file is
opened. Just open it with emacs and check for processes "yes".
I suggest disabling local variables by default, because probably there are
similar bugs of the same nature.
All the best in the new year!
Georgi

Emacs better than windoze.
