Could those people who still know of problems with EFS and XEmacs
19.11/Lemacs 19.10 please post what they know about them?  I missed
that discussion, but I probably will have some time to look into the
whole thing over the weekend.  Please let me know how to reproduce
them, and anything known about the source of the problems - 'cause I
haven't experienced any of them.

Those are the things that I've heard about:

sandy> The most commonly reported problem is that Emacs keeps warning the
sandy> buffer that the file has changed on disk, when it hasn't.  This was
sandy> tracked to the VISIT arg of write-region getting changed to some
sandy> random number before the handler for write-region was getting called.
sandy> As a result the buff-file-modtime was not being updated for the file
sandy> when it was written.  There have also been what appear to be random
sandy> bus errors and core dumps.

jsparkes> Subject: XEemacs-19.11 and efs-1.9 mostly works.  Same old problem..

jsparkes> The problem of buffer modtime not being set properly has not been

jsparkes> that there don't seem to be any problems.

Thanks in advance.
