I see.  I don't suppose there's a debian package around, eh?
I thought my days of building from scratch were over... Maybe
I should just switch to Gentoo.  :-)

Seriously, I'll upgrade if this becomes too annoying.

p.s. boy, it's been SO LONG since I found a bug in emacs, I was
     starting to think that perfection had finally been achieved!

Thanks for the info,
