I just googled around and found a message from you (Stefan Monnier) of
November 2003 that mentioned "a bad interaction with FreeBSD" as the
cause of what seems to be the same problem I'm seeing. I am indeed
using FreeBSD, and perhaps this was the crucial piece of information I
left out from my initial report.

The message I'm referring to is at
<URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2003-11/msg00479.html>

You mentioned a fix in the works for this problem, what is the status
of this? My emacs is from /usr/ports as of june 1. 2004, and the
FreeBSD is 4.8-RELEASE.

Thanks,
