Hello Paul,

Thanks for your help,

Here are the files with the time stamps included in the traces.

Cheers,

Bertrand

Let me know if you need anything-else.

Thanks, those traces lack time stamps which are at the heart of the problem.  Can you please rerun both tests with time stamp details in the stat-related system calls?  Something like the following shell command should do it:

strace -o /tmp/tr -e abbrev=\!stat,fstat,lstat emacs -Q filename

Depending on your shell, you may need to omit the backslash.
