   This is a known bug which I asked about a few weeks ago.  I
   received a patch.  However I didn't apply it since it required a
   recompile of emacs (the fix is in C).  If you want the patch I can
   send it to you.

Thanks for the offer, but since I do not urgently need it for myself,
I would not install it if it is not made part of the standard emacs
distribution.  Whenever I meet a bug, I report it mainly because the
author of GNU emacs, whom made its product free, requires us to do so.

GNU emacs is a wonderful product, a kind blessing; furthermore,
Richard Stallman and his followers have a quite open mind about
program or documentation bugs.  GNU people support GNU products (not
only emacs) in a way which extends, and by far, everything I ever saw
from many software selling companies requiring expensive support
contracts.  This particular fact adds a lot of credibility to the
viability of the FSF goals.
