Folks,
In my previous message I forgot to mention the circumstances under
which the corruption occurred. Here is the scenario which caused the
corruption:
- Somehow .bbdb buffer makes it to the top of the buffer stack thus
leaving the cursor in it.
- Unknowingly I type in a character into this buffer then switch to
other buffers and continue with my work.
- It is time to exit the 'emacs' session and I answer YES to the
question of whter to save the .bbdb buffer. Emacs promptly saves
this buffer. Now the next time around I am hosed when I try to bring
up BBDB.
Also is there someway of opening a file in Emacs but not have it
available for interactive editing. If such a facility were available
then BBDB could open the .bbdb file in this mode so one cannot edit
or corrupt this file by accident.
