I'm still having trouble, and I'm not sure if it's a symptom of the
problem, the solution, or the precipitate. Let me give a little
more detail. Until recently, I had the following lines in
~/.emacs.d/eshell/profile:
addpath -b /usr/local/bin >>> #<buffer *Messages*>
addpath -b /usr/local/sbin >>> #<buffer *Messages*>
addpath -b ~/bin >>> #<buffer *Messages*>
A semi-recent change broke redirection in eshell, but Stefan fixed
it yesterday (thanks Stefen). After the fix, though, I'm seeing,
for each addpath directive:
Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *Messages*>
Is this a side-effect of the solution? Should I file it as a different
bug? Should I stop trying to redirect into *Messages* (it's convenient
but not really necessary)?
