The problem was not one you would have noticed within that session. The problem was that the file was stored in a different coding system. It may not have caused inconvenience for you, but it did for others. So we want to track it down. Can you please help? However, if there were, it is due to the fact that I had to change X selection coding system to latin-1, because there is a bug in the default coding system (which used to be compound-text-with-extensions, I don't think that specifying an X selection coding system should have had this result unless you copied the whole contents of ChangeLog through the X server.
