Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: emacs22

22.1-0ubuntu4~feisty1

To reproduce:

in a directory owned by root, as root:

touch foo
chown someuser.somegroup foo

as someuser:
emacs foo
    make some changes
    C-x C-s

hangs.  Under emacs21, it would tell you it couldn't write the backup
file and would write one named %backup% in your homedir.  It should at
least not hang.
