I had an emacs sitting in VM on my terminal at home.  I went in to work,
read mail there, came home, and typed "g" without remembering to quit VM
first.  Guess what, it got my new mail and saved my inbox without ever
noticing that the version on disk was newer than the version it had in
the buffer.  Happy happy.  Joy joy.  Luckily I was able to pull my
messages back from the jaws of death because I have emacs make backup
versions every time it saves, but there would seem to be a call to
verify-visited-file-modtime missing somewhere...
