I checked it a little bit (not debugging):
- Clemens seems to use Emacs 21.3.50, according to his messages.
- In files.el, the implementation of backup-buffer has changed (wrt to
Emacs 21.2, what I use). There's the following code sequence
(taken from the CVS HEAD of files.el; I'm too lazy for downloading
Emacs 21.3.50):
(let (...
(modes (file-modes buffer-file-name)))
;; Actually write the back up file.
(condition-case ()
(if (or file-precious-flag
; (file-symlink-p buffer-file-name)
backup-by-copying
;; Don't rename a suid or sgid file.
(< 0 (logand modes #o6000))
...
The result of `file-modes' isn't checked, and it is expected to be
non-nil. Hmm.
According to the documentation, this might be correct. On the other
hand, Ange-FTP (and maybe other packages as well) return nil as "don't
know" value.
Kai: could you, please, check in the Emacs mailing list, what's the
correct interpretation? Either nil is a valid return value of
file-modes (that I'ld prefer), than files.el and the Elisp
documentation should be corrected. Or it is an Ange-FTP error.
Best regards, Michael.
