I guess that it would be sufficient to set `backup-by-copying-when-mismatch' to t to avoid the problem. Actually, I tried that and it did not help. I am the owner of the files that my processes write to, so `backup-by-copying-when-mismatch' has no effect, because there is no "mismatch". So I really need to set backup-by-copying itself to t to be able to use Emacs for my work. Sincerely, Luc.
