So now I suspect the file system instead of Emacs. As Emacs is the most used program on my computer it is natural that in case of problems files that are under control of Emacs are affected. A disk check revealed that there were problems with the file structure on that partition so I reformatted the thing and populated it with new copies of the files. Now I am quite confident that Emacs was not the cause of the problem. -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org
