I don't recall seeing this before, i.e., current auto-saved files not being listed in the latest auto-save-list file. Moreover, the timestamps of the not listed auto-saved files were later than the timestamp of the file that was listed. Is this consistent with the auto-save system or was something amiss, and if the latter, does anyone have an ideas? This was with GNU Emacs 23.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0) of 2007-11-01 on escher. Steve Berman
