Halloechen!
Sometimes, when I want to insert something with C-y, I don't get the
last but the *second* last snippet that I've killed. With M-y I can
switch to the correct one. It doesn't happen always, and I don't
know under which conditions.
How can I switch off this behaviour? I use GNU Emacs 21.3.50.2.
Thank you!
Tschoe,
Torsten.

It should never happen in the first place. Are you sure you're not
giving a numeric argument to C-y? M-2 C-y will yank the 2nd item on the
killing ring, M-3 C-y will yank the 3rd, and so on.

Yes. Since I've failed to make it reproducible so far, I assume
that it happens due to an unstable CVS version that I got. My Emacs
seems to switch into this strange yank mode approximately twice per
week and stays there until restarted, but sometimes it recovers
earlier. Yes, I do know how odd this sounds. :-/
Anyway, I think I can live with it until the next release.
Tschoe,
Torsten.

I compiled Emacs with gcc 3.3.1.
Tschoe,

Halloechen!
Sometimes, when I want to insert something with C-y, I don't get
the last bust the *second* last think that I've killed. With M-y I
can switch to the correct one.
How can I switch off this behaviour? I use GNU Emacs 21.3.50.2.
Thank you!
Tschoe,
Torsten.
