When you choose to make the changes permanent it should write that to
custom-file (which by default is your .emacs). It should however
include all the old values. If it did not then something is wrong.
Can you show us your .emacs? Was there perhaps several
custom-set-variables entry in it?
Also the normal information in the bug report is missing (date you did
a check out from the CVS repositories beeing the most important). Can
you tell us that?
