This is not a bug, it's an intended behavior (or maybe an unintended misfeature of intended behavior ;-). Since ~/bar is before ~/foo in your load-path, Emacs sees ~/bar/foo.gz first. And because auto-compression-mode is now on by default, the fact that it is compressed is not a reason not to load it. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
