Dear list,

Please be so kind to read it.
I should have checked my notes to be more precise. Instead of
Emacs [snapshot] was inserting \$ in the middle of an environment
what happened is that when I inserted a `\' in the middle of a theorem
environment (corollary), it changed \end{corollary} to \end^?corollary};
undoing the \ (I use C-/ to undo) reverted the ^? to {. But then I
deleted (backspace) `?' `^' and `d', retyped `d' and `{' and the bug
didn't repeat ---that is, I could type the `\' without problem.
Also, I said in this thread that I hadn't seen text corruption in org
buffers, but in my notes I see that I had an `$' where there was a space.
And this made me recall that in the first few weeks after installing
Ubuntu 12.04, I had a recurring and very annoying bug of `$'s getting
inserted instead of spaces in /var/lib/dpkg/available and
/var/lib/dpkg/status, which caused updates and installations to halt
with errors, and I had to ` sudo gedit ' those files to retry the
updates or installations. Most of the times the offending `$'s *recurred
in the same places*.
Fortunately, I found in the web the solution: sudo dpkg --clear-avail.
After that, I haven't had any more that problem. Before Ubuntu 12.04, I
hadn't had that problem at all.
Best
Axel
