May I suggest that next time this happens you keep notes about the exact steps you took while reproducing the problem? > I don't know what you mean, > about somehow reading Info files that didn't come with > the same binary. How would that even happen? It depends on how your system is configured wrt multiple Emacs versions installed on it, and in particular how you invoke Info. If you just type "C-h i" or "C-h r", the Info manual you get depends on whether you keep the share/info directories of different versions separate or not. Also, "C-h i" and "C-h r" go to different places by default. This is why I always use "C-u C-h i", and then specify the Info file that corresponds to the Emacs version I'm running. > Sorry for any confusion.

Then I guess we can close this bug.
