Hello Carsten,

Thank you for this test case.  I tried the procedure outlined, but could not reproduce the issue on a somewhat older (23.1.90) version of emacs, running 64-bit on 10.6.2.  I guess we have a regression here.  However, I fixed a related dialog problem (bug#5811) with the attached patch.  Would you be able to test it and see if it does anything for the issue in your case?

thanks,
Adrian
