It appears not just to be simple.el that has this log. I've looked at gud.el and gdb-ui.el and they both have it. It does appear to be a one off, but merges from Arch takes up about 75% of the two logs. That seems a bit execessive, as none of it appears to affect mainline. > [BTW, it's possible to correct CVS log message using "cvs admin" > command; I can get rid of all the extra text in this log entry if you > want.] Please don't, not before the release anyway. I can take ugly, I just don't like broken. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
