Thanks for the tip; this may well resolve my problem. Is this procedure
documented anywhere? I'm still an Ubuntu- and Debian-world novice, where
would I learn when something like this is advisable?
I'll file a bug report through the tracker previously suggested if
this doesn't work.
More generally, I'm a fairly heavyweight Emacs expert (author of a
couple of the standard-library packages, among other things).
Please consider me available for package testing.
