However, I recently found this backup file: ./cur/1165087471.P20227Q7.chrislap:2,S/1164450633.P2139Q0M622761.chrislap:2,S.~1~
It is a backup of this file: ./cur/1164450633.P2139Q0M622761.chrislap:2,S For some reason it was created in: ./cur/1165087471.P20227Q7.chrislap:2,S/ instead of in ./cur/Backup/ as I would expect. I looked at the code and I can't see any way that this failure could happen. I am stumped. How about if you modify the function make-backup-file-name-1 to adde data showing its argument and value at the end of a particular file. Then, if the bug happens again, you can check that file and see what make-backup-file-name-1 did on that occasion. At least that way we will find out if the bug is inside that function. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
