Yes, that would be expected.

It can't really be prevented if you have that hook installed. I
don't
know why it stays installed and active when x-symbol is not. (As I've
I finally solved this problem: I had some functions (which tried to
avoid x-symbol 8bit saving, which in turn does not work well with vc) in
another hook, which somehow initialized x-symbol again and put the
x-symbol-write-file-hook in place. After removing the functions I can
now remove the x-symbol-write-file-hook.
said before, x-symbol is horrible code, and that particular hook is
well let us say it is ancient and orphaned :-D, [1] I noticed
performance issues in 21.4 and it only works in 21.5 thanks to the specifer
patch you once provided. It does not work well with mule (nor with vc).
ghastly.)
(featurep 'crypt)
Cool this was what I was looking for. Answer is neither crypt nor
crypt++ is loaded.
in this case. grep the file for '(provide' to see what
features will
be provided if it was loaded.
Maybe I should abandon it at least for large files[2]
Footnotes:
[1] Christoph left it in 2003, it is sort of a miracle that it still works.
[2] I usually stick to old code if it serves me. I only recently
switched from vm-7.17 to vm-8.X since I could not bear anymore the
problems 21.5 gave me.
