Oh, the "abort and dump core (and autosave)" message? Yes, I've seen
that one, but I assumed that Richard was talking about something else,
since he just mentioned "autosave".
(Speaking of which -- that message has always confused me. I don't know
what I'm answering yes to "abort", "dump core" or "autosave", or a
combination thereof.)
