One minute of searching suggests that: extent-at in lucid.el ps-generate-postscript-with-faces1 in ps-def.el will have problems now. It would seem suprising if there are three files in Emacs that this causes problems for, and nothing external. > Not sure what we can do about it, tho. The least you can do is make an "incompatible change" NEWS entry. Ideally it would it explain what do if you still want to get the priority of an overlay as a number.
