Thank you for your advices and sorry for bothering. I used to run my computer 24x7, with the consequence that Emacs uptime was many-monthed. Being conscientious, i made sure to sync changes in *scratch* w/ (what i presumed to be) analogous changes in ~/.emacs. Then one fateful day, i typed =E2=80=98C-x C-c=E2=80=99 by mistake. Hundreds of buffers gon= e. Bummer. Moment of truth: time to restart Emacs. You can guess the outcome: errors (multiple) in ~/.emacs, errors (multiple) in filenames and other linkages, errors errors everywhere. Major bummer. So now i know being conscientious is not something to be so proud of. :-D
