Yes, you may very well be right. I just thought I'd let the emacs

PS. BTW, I've deleted emacs-bugs from the CC list in this message, but
it's still in Bastien's message. Be careful about reply-all: you might
end up creating emacs bugs with every response.
Also, btw, the bug report is at
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=4242
