There's no reason to think that these changes will affect that. We have made some progress recently on these two bugs, thanks to your help. In fact, didn't we come to suspect that the problem only happens with hyperthreading? I think this will be dealt with fairly soon. Meanwhile, plenty of other bugs have been reported in the past two weeks. They too need to be fixed. Could people please debug some of them rather than arguing about the Customize buffer?
