Re: ediff or emacs bug

[Oscar Bonilla <obonilla@galileo.edu>]

Uh, no, I'm using the "official" emacs-23.1 release. I downloaded it  
from the web and compiled it myself:

dirac projects $ ls -lad emacs-23.1*
drwxr-xr-x  34 ob  owner      1156 Jul 29 18:15 emacs-23.1/
drwxr-xr-x  15 ob  owner       510 Aug  5 11:56 emacs-23.1-compiled/
-rw-r--r--   1 ob  owner  34382732 Aug  5 11:25 emacs-23.1.tar.bz2
dirac projects $ md5sum emacs-23.1.tar.bz2
17f7f0ba68a0432d58fa69d05a2225be  emacs-23.1.tar.bz2
dirac projects $

The MD5SUM from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2009-07/msg00000.html

The MD5 check-sums for the tarballs are:  
a620d4452769d04ad8864d662f34f8dd emacs-23.1.tar.gz  
17f7f0ba68a0432d58fa69d05a2225be emacs-23.1.tar.bz2
And as I said, (emacs-version) says:

"GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, NS apple-appkit-949.46)
  of 2009-08-05 on dirac.bitmover.com"

Note the 2009-08-05 which agrees with when I downloaded and compiled it.

Any other ideas? :)

Cheers,

-Oscar
