This bug was filed several years ago, and was (is) an XEmacs problem. I switched to using GNU emacs (mainly because of this), and have used it daily without problems for two years. I rely on this package, it works and there is no reason I can see to remove it. I had no awareness of 460640. The complaint is "it hasn't had an update in a REALLY REALLY long time and has no relevant number users" If it works, why does it need an update, and how does he know what users it has?
Please reinstate this package. Thank you.
