And it is surely a bug that the error > message talks about keyboard macros. It's not unable to visit the file. It's unable to save it. And the base cause makes sense, which is why I never reported it. When you save a file to a machine with a clock significantly ahead of yours, the timestamp on the remote file will be well past the time Emacs thinks it saved it. So it'll think it's been modified by some other program and will check to make sure you really want to save it. The only reason this doesn't work is the (beep) thinks it's in a keyboard macro, which you fixed in July on HEAD. That code should probably be put in the RC branch, unless it depends on something else... I didn't trace it too far. -- Alan Shutko - In a variety of flavors! Start showing up early for work
