If you revert a buffer, the save-place-find-file-hook seems to run,
jumping the point to wherever you happened to have been at the last
kill buffer.  This is annoying.  The fix is to add

    (add-hook 'before-revert-hook 'save-place-to-alist)

to the set of hooks it already sets.

(If you wish to reproduce the behavior:

    visit a file that is at least a couple of screen fulls long
    go to the beginning of the file
    kill the buffer
    visit the file again
    move to the end of the file
    revert the buffer
    You are now back at the beginning of the file
)
