This should have been sent to gnu.emacs.bug, not here.  Please consider 
taking this thread there.

My suspicion is that this has something to do with the fact 21.2 changed 
the way buffer memory is allocated in small ways.  That caused bugs on 
some systems, those bugs are fixed for the next release.
