Note that the filenames are the same, so the second buffer has "<2>"
appended to it.
Try selecting the buffers by mousing the tabs. Only the second can be
reached; both tabs bring up the same buffer (the 2nd, as I see it).
I guess you are using athena. This is a feature of lwlib under athena
whereby the callback is found using the name of the widget since you can't
store arbitrary call data. I guess the fix is to make the buffer-tab code
generate unique names for truncated filenames. This would probably be a
good thing anyway.
This works ok under mswindows and I suspect motif also.
