Thank you for your report. This problem was reported and fixed on 19 May, so upgrading to a later CVS code will make it go away. (Your Emacs was built on 22 April.) > This was not a problem with Emacs 21.3. Emacs 21.3 didn't honor Windows native conventions for directories in which to store user-private data files. This functionality was added in the CVS code, but unfortunately the original implementation had a subtle bug. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
