    I've encountered a bug in find-file-noselect on VMS.  

    I'm bringing up a 18.57 on a new system where I don't have a .emacs
    yet.  After typing ESC ESC, and telling enable-command that I really
    did want to do this, it created a file `SYS$LOGIN.EMACS' in the
    current directory, rather than `SYS$LOGIN:.EMACS'.


Don't bother with this patch.  After a few hours of trying various
things (including trying to find out why the patch was needed on one
cluster, but not another), I found the real problem.

Make sure the logical HOME is not defined.  If your system manager
thinks it should be in the system login, shoot him.
